Commander reiterates Iranian navy’s readiness to confront enemies

Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari once again underlined the Navy’s preparedness to defuse enemies’ threats in every field. “We have never surrendered and will never do so in future against the enemies,” Rear Admiral Sayyari said, adding, “We have the capacity to stop enemies’ threats in every area in the future.” He reiterated that the enemy’s confrontation with Iran is aimed at reducing Iran’s influence in the Middle East. In relevant remarks in October, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei described the Iranian Armed Forces' full preparedness as a major deterrent to enemy attacks, and meantime stressed that the country will not step back in case of any foreign aggression. “Because of their Islamic teachings, Iranian nation are not the men of aggression and invasion but they will not fall short of confronting any aggression,” Ayatollah Khamenei said, addressing Iranian military units in Northeastern province of North Khorassan at the time. The Leader lauded Iran's high military preparedness, and stated, "The only reason the power mongers' motivation for waging war has downgraded or getting weakened is the general readiness of Iranian nation and the defense readiness of the armed forces." The Leader said general readiness of Iranian nation, especially the youth, is today in the highest possible level compared to the past and the armed forces are more prepared and more powerful than the past.
