Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan has underlined Iran’s defense capabilities, reiterating that the Islamic Republic can give a “regrettable” response to all kinds of enemy threats.

“We do not threaten any country, but we can respond to threats at any level…,” said Brigadier General Dehqan on Monday, adding that, “Our enemies do not dare to attack or take any actions against us and they are well aware that the response they will receive would be regrettable.”

The Iranian defense minister further emphasized Iran’s significant position in the Middle East in terms of defense capabilities, describing the Islamic Republic as the pioneer of “peace, stability and integrity” in the region.

Brigadier General Dehqan also pointed to Washington’s increasing military presence in the Middle East, stressing that the US seeks to promote “Iranophobia” among the Persian Gulf Arab governments to serve its own interests in the strategic region.

In recent years, Iran has made major breakthroughs in its defense sector and attained self-sufficiency in producing important military equipment and systems.

Despite its great defense achievements, the Islamic Republic has repeatedly said its military might poses no threat to other countries, insisting that its defense doctrine is merely based on deterrence.
