President Raisi made the remarks in a gathering in Jask city in Hormozgan province, noting that the great Iranian nation succeeded in disappointing the enemies to reach their objectives and that this is not the first time that the foes hatch plots against the Islamic country, but they have sowed discord over the past 43 years, including the eight-year-long imposed war on Iran and the imposition of economic sanctions, which could not disappoint the Iranians from reaching their sublime objectives.
As to Saturday statements by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the president said that the Supreme Leader’s remarks was enough to get more acquainted with the position of Basiji forces, who have done the praiseworthy job for the country.
The Basiji forces have been serving Iranians in different hardships, including earthquakes, floods and the COVID-19 pandemic, Raisi said.
He further expressed gratitude to the army and all other armed forces, who play key roles in protecting the Islamic country and showed that they are insightful guards of the nation.
The chief executive also discussed the challenges of the residents of Jask city in eastern Hormozgan province, vowing that he would ask the provincial governor general to form a special team to resolve the problems of the people.
Jask is one of the six port cities in Hormozgan province, which is located near the Strait of Hormuz and Makran Sea in southern Iran.
Iran’s Supreme Leader and some top military commanders have emphasized the need for developing Makran shores because of its importance in the International North–South Transport Corridor.
