Iran’s army superior in the region

Iran’s army is the superior military might in the region, Islamic Republic’s Joint Armed Forces Chief of Staff Major General Hassan Firouzabadi says.

“Today, our military might is the superior armed force in the region, which is not the number of tanks and planes, even the enemies confess to our military supremacy in the region,” Fars news agency quoted Firouzabadi as saying.

He was addressing the opening ceremony of the Sacred Defense Week held at the mausoleum of the late Founder of Iran’s Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, in southern Tehran on Wednesday morning.

Iran’s Sacred Defense throughout the 8-year imposed war introduced the Islamic Revolution and pure Islam to the world, Firouzabadi added.

Noting that now all levels of the Iranian armed forces are up against the arrogant powers, he said, today, the message of independence and freedom of the Iranian nation is presented to humanity through the Sacred Defense.

Firouzabadi stressed that “adoption of several resolutions, sanctions, war through sedition and using all tools available are indicative of the power and sophistication of the Islamic front after 30 years of the [Islamic] Revolution.”

The US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton has recently expressed concern over Iran’s expanding military power, but “we tell her that Iran’s military might is aimed at deterring intruders and defending the country,” Firouzabadi pointed out.

“…the emergence of regional powers has changed the conditions of former superpowers,” he went on to say.

The nations of the world have taken a stand against the arrogant powers, and the Zionists’ scandals in jeopardizing global peace have tarnished their image, Firouzabadi concluded.
