President Rouhani: Iran today has largest anti-terror armed forces in region
President Hassan Rouhani says Iran today has the largest and most powerful armed forces against terrorism in the Middle East.
He said that Iranian troops are the biggest force fighting against terror in the region. Rouhani gave assurances that Iran will never invade any other country but will defend its sovereignty with full force in case of any aggression. Rouhani made the comments during a ceremony commemorating the start of the Sacred Defense Week. The event marks the thirty fifth anniversary of Iraq’s war against Iran. Units of the Iranian armed forces are holding massive parades across the country to honor the sacrifices made during the eight-year defense. Former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussain ordered the invasion of Iran in 1980 with US and Western support.
