DM Reaffirms Military Preparedness to Safeguard Iran
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s defense minister reiterated that the country’s Armed Forces are fully prepared to defend their homeland steadfastly in any conditions.
The Iranian Armed Forces, under the wise guidance of Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, are quite prepared to defend the Islamic Republic’s boundaries, Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan announced during a Wednesday visit to a military base in the northern city of Qazvin.
He also underlined that the Iranian armed forces have a unique, premier position among the whole nations and armies in the world, since they are honor-bound to uphold a divine establishment, namely the Islamic Republic.
The remarks by Dehqan came a few days after different units of the Iranian Army held massive military parades all over the country on Friday morning to mark the National Army Day.
In capital, the ceremony was held at the mausoleum of the late founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Imam Khomeini, south of Tehran.
A host of Army units put their latest achievements on display during the parades, believed by many military experts as an annual showcase for Iranian Army's latest weaponry and military progress.
The military parades saw units from the Ground Force, Navy, Air Force and Air Defense Force displaying a broad range of advanced equipment such as missiles, tanks, armored vehicles, rifles, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), fighter jets, radar systems and air defense missile systems.
In recent years, the Islamic Republic of Iran has made great achievements in its defense sector and has attained self-sufficiency in producing essential military equipment and systems.
Tehran has repeatedly assured other nations that its military might poses no threat to other countries, saying that the Islamic Republic’s defense doctrine is entirely based on deterrence.
