Iran Armed Forces Highlights Civil Defense Role in Thwarting Hostile Plots
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Iranian Armed Forces General Staff placed great emphasis on the civil defense strategies in the country’s whole sectors, saying those tactics can safeguard Iran against the sources of foreign threat.
The civil defense systems can block the implementation of “threatening scenarios and plots against the national security infrastructure” of the country, the Iranian Armed Forces General Staff said in a statement on the occasion of the Day of Civil Defense (October 30).
The statement has also called for the development of “various indigenous models in diverse arenas of civil defense, particularly in the cyber and environmental spheres.”
Earlier on Tuesday, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Hassan Firouzabadi unveiled the country’s civil defense national strategy document.
In recent years, Iranian officials have attached a great deal of importance on civil defense tactics to counter a whole host of threats.
