President: Iran’s armed forces reliable sources of security in region
President Ebrahim Raeisi says the armed forces of the Islamic Republic have become reliable and trustworthy forces in providing security for Iran and the countries of the region.
This credibility is due to the power of faith and connection to the divine absolute power among the Iranian forces, President Raeisi said in a meeting with a group of Air Force commanders.
The president touched on the unique features of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic, saying their strength, capability and bravery has empowered the country and stabilized national security.
President Raeisi touched on the evolution and transformation that the Islamic Revolution created in the hearts and souls of the officers and commanders of the Iranian armed forces.
This transformation, the president said, became evident during the Holy Defense of the 1980s against Iraq, the defense of the country's borders, and the support of the forces defending holy shrines.
He cited belief in God and people, and their self-belief among the principles and hallmarks of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic, especially the Air Force.
He called the self-sufficiency of the Air Force in building up-to-date and advanced defensive and offensive equipment such as radar, drone and missile systems as a manifestation of the force's self-belief.
The president reiterated the government's commitment to providing resources needed to strengthen the country's defense base, saying any effort to this end is an investment for security and creating deterrence against the enemy.
Raeisi also hailed “good” steps taken by the Air Force to develop combat and military equipment and capabilities by using the capacity of technological and knowledge-based companies.
The president advised military commanders to continue improving equipment and upgrading the knowledge and expertise of their forces.
