Commander calls for concerted efforts to counter soft war against Iran

A senior Iranian military commander cautioned against soft war tactics employed by enemies against the country, and called on the Iranian people of different social strata to stand against the adversaries and thwart their hostile plots.

According to Tasnim news agency, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Masoud Jazayeri said in a press conference in the country’s central city of Yazd on Saturday “When the enemy failed to achieve its goals in the hard wars, it put the soft war on the agenda and tried to confront Iran through such a method.”
Referring to the eight-year Iraqi imposed war against the country in the 1980s, the commander praised Iranian forces for their success in fighting a full-fledged war against Iraq, which he said received “support from a whole host of the arrogant powers.”
Brigadier General Jazayeri further cautioned against the menace of soft war tactics in the present era, and added, “Now amid the soft war, all the society’s strata, including the youths, university students and professors, should strive to confront the enemies’ threats and thwart their plots.”
