Iran Air Force can counter any threat

21d2dbb4b00ea1e85cfb7f90b8271dd2_LA senior Iranian commander says the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) is capable of countering any threat that endangers the country’s security.

According to Press TV, IRIAF Commander Brigadier-General Hassan Shah-Safi said on Thursday that the Air Force is completely prepared for defending the country’s airspace.
He added: “The Air Force is capable of neutralizing any threat that endangers the country’s security by monitoring all regional and trans-regional threats.”
He said: “We have repeatedly announced that our doctrine is a defensive one and we do not intend to attack any country and will not do so.”
Shah-Safi added that, however, that the country’s forces will strongly counter any attack against the Islamic Republic.
In recent years, Iran has made great achievements in its defense sector and gained self-sufficiency in essential military hardware and defense systems.
Tehran has repeatedly assured other nations that its military might poses no threat to other countries, insisting that the Islamic Republic’s defense doctrine is entirely based on deterrence.
Referring to the ongoing crisis in Syria, Shah-Safi said the Syrian people are paying the price of their resistance.
He added: “Unfortunately, we see that the same terrorists, under the pretext of fighting whom trans-regional forces are present in Afghanistan and Pakistan, receive financial and military support in Syria.”
