Local Editor

The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution His Eminence Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei confirmed Friday that "Iran has no aggressive intents but will never step back in face of any aggression."

Addressing Iranian military units in Northeastern province of North Khorassan, Imam Khamenei described the Iranian Armed Forces' full preparedness as a major deterrent to enemy attacks.

"Because of their Islamic teachings, Iranian nation are not the men of aggression and invasion but they will not fall short of confronting any aggression," His Eminence stated.

In parallel, the Leader lauded Iran's high military preparedness by saying: "What motivates the hegemonic powers to wage war is the sale of arms and cultivation of military industries that depend on capitalists, and the only factor that suppresses such war-waging impulse of power-seekers is the general readiness of the [Iranian] nation and defensive preparedness of the armed forces."

"The general readiness of the Iranian nation, especially the youth, is today in the highest possible level compared to the past and the armed forces are more prepared and more powerful than the past," His Eminence highlighted.
Imam Khamenei further reiterated that the preparedness and work spirit of the Iranian nation and its armed forces has left such an iconic image of preeminence, which forbids the enemy from training the thoughts of aggression against the country.

Prior to the Leader's address, Commander of Islamic Revolution's Guards Corps Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari presented a report on defensive capabilities of the military force, including expanding the range of its missiles, preemptive measures, upgrading the defensive and offensive capabilities of its marine force as well as regular monitoring of enemy threats.
