TEHRAN, Oct. 06 (MNA) – A high-ranking Iranian commander has said that the enemy’s dream to weaken Iran’s defense power will never come true deeming any part of JCPOA that affects Iran’s deterrence as unenforceable.

In response to recent statements by Western officials on JCPOA and the outcomes of the nuclear deal, Deputy Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Masoud Jazayeri said that enemy’s desire to undermine the Islamic Republic of Iran’s defense capabilities is void and fortunately there is not even the slightest doubt in increased capabilities and skills of our armed forces.

“Iran and the regional Resistance have been frequently and openly threatened by the US and the illegal Israeli regime, therefore; we need to increase our military power in line with our national security and that of our allies; this vital issue should not be affected by other events,” he added.

The commander further underlined that, “Americans are indoctrinated with the false reports of the opposition forces regarding generation changes in Iran, however, they are unaware of the reality of Iran’s large community.”

“Insiders and outsiders need to know that anywhere in JCPOA which might affect the country’s defense capability will be unenforceable,” the commander continued considering JCPOA and mphasized that Iran has clear plans for the implementation of JCPOA.
