Tehran, IRNA – Army Commander Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi said on Friday that the enemies' plan and strategy are to halt or delay the Islamic Republic of Iran’s progress.

During his visit to the Army's Air and Defense Units in Bandar Abbas in Hormozgan Province, Major General Mousavi assessed the readiness of aircraft, drones, radars, defense systems, missiles, and command-control centers.

Referring to the enemies' plan to stop the government in its progress to achieving goals, Major General Mousavi said that the foes of the Iranian nation including the US and Zionist Regime are looking to prevent or delay Iranian’s progress in achieving their goals by using emotions and inciting riots plus insecurity inside the country.

To create such an atmosphere with a hybrid war, the enemies resort to all economic, political, cultural, and social capabilities in the context of cyberspace plus satellite networks, he underlined.

He called the people's awareness of the various plots of the enemies of Iran and the Islamic system the key to the failure of the enemies again and again.

During the recent days and in the course of the protests against the heartbreaking and sudden death of Mahsa Amini at a police station due to heart failure, a wave of organized unrest in some Iranian cities, noticeable material losses against public properties, ambulances, Fire Department vehicles led to getting killed dozens of people, relief and rescue personnel, and police forces.

The western media and influencers during recent days spent tremendous efforts aimed at aggravating the dimensions of unrest in Iran and claimed that the death of Mahsa Amini was due to the harsh dealing of the police forces against her, while the Iran Police released footage that showed her death was due to a heart attack, proving the false news broadcasted by the western media and the anti-Iranian outlets.
