Mohammad Javad Zarif made the remarks on Sunday, in the second day of First Joint Conference of Iranian Military Attachés and Defense and Law Enforcement Agencies.
International situation has privileged the Islamic Republic of Iran as a regional power having undeniable influence on recent developments in the region and the world, relying on the noble ideals and discourse of the Islamic Revolution.
Iran may become an influential, long-lasting power in the international arena, Zarif said, adding, "we are facing a risky, proactive and sensitive action which based on the interpretation of the Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Khamenei, is the critical turning point in history which requires caution, awareness, threat identification, reliance on military and economic capabilities, as well as Islamic and revolutionary beliefs, to pass through."
