General says enemy not powerful enough to attack Iran

TEHRAN, April 17 (MNA) -- Army Commander Major General Ataollah Salehi said here on Tuesday that the enemies of Iran can never attack the country because they know the military might of the Islamic Republic.

Thanks to the endeavors of its experts, the Iranian Army has made many achievements in various fields of military technology, and this has actually strengthened the sovereignty of Iran, he stated.

 

Commenting on the military maneuver that is to be staged tomorrow, concurrent with Army Day (April 18), Salehi said, “We take pride in our resolute defensive will that is strengthened by the martyrs of the Islamic Revolution and eight years of (Iraqi) imposed war on Iran.”

 

He went on to say that the enemies of the Islamic Republic of Iran have realized that they can never materialize their threats against the country, adding, “If incurring damage on Iran was a victory, they would have won the eight-year imposed war against Iran.

 

“We are not worried about any possible damage and are certain of victory. This is a fact that the enemies are well aware of.”

 

Maintaining the military might of Iran and staging joint maneuvers of the Army, Air Force, and Navy during the first half of the Iranian calendar year (began March 21) are some of the most important objectives of the Army, he said.
