‘Iran military power is for self-defense’
President Pezeshkian hailed Iran’s defense achievements, saying the country’s military power is intended for self-defense and poses no threat to other nations.
“The development of Iran’s defense and space capabilities is not for waging war or invading [any country], but for deterrence, and to ensure that no country dares to invade Iranian territory or even thinks about it,” he told reporters on the sidelines of the visit.
“What we are seeing today of the defense and space achievements is indicative of the power, innovation, and creativity of the country’s youth and experts, which is a source of pride for the Iranian nation,” the president noted.
Pezeshkian said at some juncture the enemies were able to invade the country easily. “Today, however, with Iran’s high military and defense power, which has been achieved through the efforts of the country’s youths and experts, they can no longer even think about invading Iranian soil,” he added.
President Pezeshkian further said that Iran will continue to develop its defense capabilities by relying on its own scientists and experts.
“Dear Iran will be among the countries that conduct flights outside the Earth’s atmosphere, and this shows the scientific power of our country,” he stated.
“The enemies always try to prevent us from standing on our own feet, but this has become a platform for us to advance in science…With the help of our young people and capable specialists, today Iran proudly produces and even exports the military products it needs,” he added.
