“The Islamic Republic has always been a harbinger of regional and international peace and security,” the Chiefs of Staff stated in a message marking Islamic Republic Day.
The statement further warned all adversaries who may have miscalculated Iran’s military power that “any threat, aggression, warmongering, or violation of the sanctity of Islamic Iran will be met with a severe response, heightened power, and an offensive approach.”
It said that the Islamic Republic, established in 1979 on the principles of faith, justice, and the defense of the oppressed, has consistently faced hostility from arrogant powers, particularly the United States.
Despite these challenges, the Islamic Republic remains resolute in its commitment to peace, justice, and the defense of its principles, territory, and the oppressed, with a particular emphasis on supporting the Palestinian cause, the statement added.
The statement said the Armed Forces have achieved sustainable military deterrence and are ready to respond to any act of folly by the enemies.
