“National Army Day is the day demonstrating and materializing honor and braveness of the revolutionary forces who continuously keep and bolster their spiritual morale, improve their military and defensive power, and act as a mighty and effective organization with steely determination which holds a strong deterring arm in defending the Revolution and safeguarding the borders,” reads a message issued on Tuesday by Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari, the Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
The commander forwarded the message to Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, the Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Army, on the advent of the Iranian National Army Day, an occasion celebrated annually with across-the-country military parades on April 18.
