Brigadier General Heidari said that the Iranian armed forces are so strong today that they have destroyed the US' false and in empty grandeur many times in the region.
"Shortly after the glorious victory of the Islamic Revolution the enemies and counter-revolutionary forces kept on insisting that the Army needs to be dissolved, intending to deprive the revolution of its strong arm," Brigadier General Heidari said in a ceremony to pay tribute to late Imam Khomeini at his mausoleum in southern Tehran.
“The late Imam (P) with his sagacious leadership dismantled the enemies and deceived personalities’ plot, and on April 17 (Army Day) ordered the IRIA to leave their barracks for combat against the counter-revolutionary forces,” he added.
Brigadier General Heidari further said that today the aggressor US forces that had occupied Afghanistan and Iraq are leaving those countries thanks to the competence of the soldiers that have been trained in late Imam Khomeini’s school of thought.
He underscored that the army is now self-sufficient, self-confident, and the pious servant of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
