Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami stressed that “Tehran will continue enhancing its defense capabilities and deterrence power.”

Speaking at an event in the northwestern city of Zanjan, General Hatami hailed the country’s success in thwarting enemy plots.

He said despite all the pressures and hostilities from the enemies, the Iranian people’s demand for independence in the field of defense has been completely fulfilled.

“The independence, power and security Iran enjoys today is the result of the country’s steadfastness and resistance against the hegemonic system,” the defense minister stated.

He further underscored that under the judicious leadership of His Eminence Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Iran will vigorously continue on the path of becoming more powerful and boosting its deterrence power.
