By Staff, Agencies

Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami warned of the US administration’s continued hostilities against the Islamic Republic and said the only way to counter the US sanctions is to boost Iran’s defense power.

“The enemy is targeting our lives today and is seeking to eliminate us…,” Hatami said in a speech in Tehran on Saturday.

“Thank God, the conspiracy of the hegemonic system led by the US against Islamic Iran has failed on various fronts, but the enemy will not miss any chance to hit the country,” he stressed.

The defense minister also referred to the anti-Iran sanctions and said, “…The only way to counter the US sanctions is to increase and boost power in all effective components, especially the defense power.”
