Iran 'fully prepared' to counter any illusion of power balance disruption: Army chief
Chief Commander of the Iranian Army Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi says the country’s armed forces are fully prepared to counter any power that harbors illusion about disrupting the balance of power or carrying out an act of aggression.
Mousavi made the remarks while speaking to reporters in Tehran on Tuesday on the sidelines of a parade to mark National Army Day.
He said the Iranian Army is equipped with “appropriate weapons and equipment” based on the new technologies required for current wars and with predictions made for possible future wars.
He added that the Iranian armed forces have in the past sought to just defend the country’s borders with all their might but now they are fully capable of confronting any power that seeks to pose a threat to the Islamic Republic, change the balance of power or carry out an act of aggression.
The top commander emphasized that fundamental changes have been made in the Iranian armed forces in many fields such as strategies, tactics, training, and relations.
“Naturally, the threats will also change. We may face more severe threats in the future given the situation in the world. We must prepare ourselves to confront any threat,” Mousavi said.
The Army chief hailed the armed forces’ progress in the ground, sea, air, missile, drone and defense sectors in recent years and noted that 20-year long-term plans have been prepared in the Army to counter all threats.
In remarks on Monday, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri hailed the role played by the Army in protecting the country’s territorial integrity in the face of all hostile measures since the victory of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
He said that the striking advances that the Iranian Army has made in various fields of defense and achieving modern and cutting-edge technologies by ground, air, naval and air defense forces have made the Army the flagbearer of the country’s power, deterrence, and security.
