Iran to promptly repel any threat: Defense minister

Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan

Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan says the Islamic Republic will counter any threats against the country in the shortest possible time.

Dehqan said on Saturday that the Iranian Defense Ministry is capable of swiftly countering any threats.

Stressing that Iran enjoys a satisfactory level of security, the Iranian defense minister vowed that any acts of aggression against the Islamic Republic is doomed to failure.

Dehqan said Iran’s achievements in the defense sector stand at a superior level in terms of modern technology. He, however, assured other countries, including regional nations, that Iran’s military doctrine is solely deterrent.

“The capabilities of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Armed Forces are only defensive,” the Iranian defense minister stated, adding that those capabilities serve regional peace and stability.

In recent years, Iran has made major breakthroughs in its defense sector and attained self-sufficiency in producing important military equipment and systems.

Iran has repeatedly assured other nations, especially its neighbors, that its military might poses no threat to other countries, insisting that its defense doctrine is based on deterrence.
