Leader calls on Iranian Armed Forces to enhance deterrent power
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has called for more work to enhance the combat and deterrent capabilities of the Iranian Armed Forces.
During a meeting with commanders of the Iranian Navy on the National Navy Day, Ayatollah Khamenei regarded the naval force as a vital and decisive element of the Armed Forces.
The Leader commended the Navy for its operational capabilities, intelligence achievements, and innovation activities.
“It is imperative that the Armed Forces, particularly the Navy, focus on enhancing preparedness and bolstering combat capabilities.”
“The primary task of the Armed Forces is to deter attacks. Therefore, you should act in a way that showcases the country’s combat power to the adversaries, making them aware that any confrontation will incur significant costs.”
In recent years, Iranian military experts and engineers have achieved significant advancements in producing a wide range of homegrown equipment, making the Armed Forces self-sufficient.
Iranian officials have said the country will not bow down to Western pressure to stop enhancing its military capabilities, including missile power, which is solely for defense and deterrence.
They also insist that defense capabilities will never be up for negotiation.
