Defense Minister Stresses Iran’s Readiness to Confront Enemies’ Threats

Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan underlined that the country’s Armed Forces are prepared to confront any possible threats by the enemies, FNA reported.

“We do not threaten any country, but we can respond to threats at any level,” the Iranian defense minister said.

Brigadier General Dehqan also pointed to the US’s increasing military presence in the Middle East, and stressed that Washington seeks to promote “Iran phobia” among the Arab governments to serve its own interests in the strategic region.

The Iranian defense minister further emphasized Iran’s significant position in the Middle East in terms of defense capabilities, describing the Islamic Republic as the pioneer of “peace, stability and integrity” in the region.

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

Despite its great defense achievements, the Islamic Republic has repeatedly said its military might poses no threat to other countries, insisting that its defense doctrine is merely based on deterrence.
