IRAN: THE READINESS OF OUR 'ARMED FORCES' IS A DETERRENT TO OUR ENEMIES

Armed Forces Readiness a Source of Despair for Enemies

TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei termed Iran's armed forces a manifestation of national resolve and power, stressing that enemies despair of designing plots against Iran when they observe preparedness of the Islamic Republic troops.

The Leader further highlighted the differences residing between Islam's military logic and that of the material world, and underlined, "In the Islamic Republic, the armed forces are considered as pioneers in defending justice and public rights, strengthening national security and safeguarding Islamic and revolutionary values."

"But the international powers view military force as a means of gaining power," he continued.

The grand Ayatollah further reiterated the necessity for the Iranian armed forces to consolidate their relations with God and deepen their trust in the Creator, and meantime, maintain their level of physical preparedness.

"Iranian armed forces, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), are a manifestation of national power and resolve and their preparedness discourages enemies from targeting Iran," he stated.
