00:13The Iranian Material Display is a Secretary of Defense initiative to present direct, unclassified
00:19evidence that Iran is arming dangerous groups and spreading instability.
00:24The display includes Iranian missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, small arms, and threats to
00:29freedom of navigation.
00:35During 2017 and 2018, the Houthis launched multiple Guillaume short-range ballistic missiles
00:42into Saudi Arabia.
00:43The missile section includes parts from three Guillaumes launched in 2017.
00:49Only Iran makes the Guillaume.
00:52Additionally, we see Iranian state-owned defense industry markings on the jet vane housings
00:57and circuit boards.
01:00The Houthi-fired missiles also have the same, distinctive, nine-valve configuration shown
01:05in the Iranian press photo of a Guillaume.
01:11Next we have a portion of a Syed 2C surface-to-air missile and its shipping crate, which was interdicted
01:17in Yemen in 2018.
01:19Only Iran makes the Syed.
01:22Additionally, we see unique Iranian numbering, Farsi riding along the body of the missile,
01:27and Iranian state-owned defense industry markings on the warhead components.
01:36The unmanned aerial vehicle section includes a Qasif-1 and debris that our Saudi partners recovered
01:42from the battlefield in Yemen.
01:44Only Iran makes the Qasif.
01:48The unique airframe design, vertical gyroscope, and serial numbers show that it is part of
01:53the Ababil UAV family, which is designed and produced by the Iranian state-owned defense
01:59industry.
02:01We have a Shahed 123 unmanned aerial vehicle and wings from a Shahed variant on display.
02:08The first debris was recovered in western Afghanistan in 2016.
02:12The UAV originated in Iran and flew over U.S. military facilities in Afghanistan.
02:19Only Iran makes the Shahed.
02:22Additionally, it has the same vertical gyroscope as the Qasif, and Farsi riding on the gyroscope
02:28case, circuit cover, and propeller.
02:33We also have Shahed wings and a tail that our Saudi partners recovered in Yemen in 2018.
02:39The tail, wings, and three-ball connection between the wings and fuselage are identical to the Shahed
02:45123 debris recovered in Afghanistan.
02:53The small arms and artillery section includes items obtained from the battlefield in Yemen
02:57and en route to Yemen, from the battlefield in Afghanistan, and in the hands of Shia militants
03:02in Bahrain.
03:04The display includes two types of anti-tank guided missiles that only Iran makes, an assortment
03:10of small arms.
03:11The Tufan with a cylindrical eject motor nozzle and manufactured date using the Persian calendar.
03:18The Tosan with Iranian item designation, year, and lot number markings.
03:24Rocket propelled grenade launcher with green synthetic heat shroud and grip stocks.
03:29And a stamped serial number filled with yellow paint.
03:32An Iranian type KL assault rifle with dot-peen serial numbers and smooth reddish-brown synthetic
03:39grip and stock.
03:43Iranian Nakjir sniper rifle with the dot-peen marking system.
03:48Iranian AM-50 sniper rifle with the dot-peen markings and non-fluted barrel.
03:56Heavy machine gun tool kits with Iran Pak stamped on the hammers.
04:01Fajir rockets with similar item designations as the Tosan to include year and lot numbers.
04:12The Threats to Freedom of Navigation section includes components showing how Iran is helping
04:17the Houthis weaponize small boats, as seen in the January 2017 attack on the Saudi Arabian
04:22frigate HMS Al-Medina.
04:28The display includes a guidance system from the Shark 33 small boat captured in 2016 by
04:34the Emiratis in the Red Sea.
04:37This fuse plate is identical to one found on a dao interdicted in 2016, which had documentation
04:43from an Iranian state-owned defense industry.
04:47Additionally, the guidance system is designed to track and engage a moving target without
04:51an operator on board.
04:54And includes a Farsi English keyboard, a made-in-Iran cable, and multiple markings on the circuit
05:01board and camera from a private Iranian company with known ties to the IRGC Navy.
05:05The forensic data from the computer and camera also revealed coordinates and photos from an
05:11Iranian Navy subordinate research and development facility in Tehran, showing at least seven other
05:16unmanned guidance systems like this.
05:19In conclusion, every system in the Iranian material display has a direct link to the government
05:24of Iran, and shows the reach of their weapons proliferation.
