[Deputy Army Chief: Armed forces might in deterrence]

Brigadier General Kiyoumars Heydari made the comment speaking in a commemoration service for 57 martyrs of 808 Brigades of Kerman Province 05 Army Base and the opening ceremony of a cultural center for that base.

ËˆThe enemies that have established a siege of our country from the western, southern and eastern sides and say that the military option is on the table have still not dared to invade Iran, since they are aware of the high power of our army and our other armed forces,Ëˆ he said.

ËˆThe enemy has realized that if it would invade us we will not only consider the United States as our enemy, but will strike back at any place that has provided a safe haven for the Americans,Ëˆ he reiterated.

The deputy commander of the IRI Army stressed that Iran has not signed any military pact with any country and that is because the late Imam Khomeini (P) has devised the ËˆNeither East, Nor WestËˆ general strategy for the revolution and after that, too, the Supreme Leader of the Revolution emphasized that the armed forces must rely on internal capabilities and stand on their own feet.

ËˆWe believe we need to stand on our own feet and act relying on GodËˆs assistance and internal capabilities,Ëˆ he added.

Brigadier General Heydari elsewhere in his address elaborated on how the former Iraqi regimeËˆs Imposed War against Iran was begun and its vast expanse at a 1,500 kilometer length, arguing, ËˆIt was a divine miracle that the country remained sold despite a war of that scale.
