Iran’s Defense Power for Regional Peace: IRGC Commander
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps reassured regional countries that Iran supports its neighbors and Muslim countries in difficulties and uses its defense power to ensure peace and calm in the region.
“We wish regional countries nothing but security and comfort,” Major General Hossein Salami told reporters on the sidelines of parades marking the National Army Day in Tehran on Tuesday.
He said the military parades give the neighbors the message that Iran is a supporter of Muslim nations and won’t abandon them in difficulties.
The commander stated that the Islamic Republic’s policy is based upon peace, calm and security.
Highlighting Iran’s perfect position in the region and its unparalleled defense power, the general said such a standing has turned the Islamic Republic into the anchor of stability and security in the region.
Iran tries to employ its defense power in favor of regional peace and calm, he stated.
In a meeting with a group of top military commanders in Tehran on Sunday, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei called on the Iranian Armed Forces to keep enhancing their preparedness in all areas and do not cease making progress because the threats of the enemies will never fade away.
