A senior military commander of Iran said on Friday the country\u2019s Army is prepared to halt any threat thanks to its high combat power.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday, we have a great combat power and if there is any threat, we will nip it in the bud,\u201d Iranian Army\u2019s Executive Deputy Commander Brigadier General Mohammad Mahmoudi said, Press TV reported.<\/p>\n
What we have, the commander said, is Iran\u2019s capable Army forces which have a brilliant record of success in countering excessive demands by the enemy during the Islamic Republic\u2019s 1980-88 Sacred Defense against an invasion by a Western-backed Iraq.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday, we produce various types of missiles, aircraft, helicopters and artillery on our own.\u201d<\/p>\n
Defense Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami said late last month that the Sacred Defense had led to \u201cvaluable\u201d achievements.<\/p>\n
\u201cIran is in a position in the fields of science, politics, and particularly defense that despite the cruel threats by the hegemonic system, it can detect and thwart any threat at its starting point even outside the borders,\u201d Hatami said.<\/p>\n
In recent years, Iran has made major breakthroughs in its defense sector and attained self-sufficiency in producing important military equipment and hardware.<\/p>\n
Iran has also conducted major military drills to enhance the defense capabilities of its Armed Forces and to test modern military tactics and state-of-the-art army equipment.<\/p>\n
The Islamic Republic maintains that its military might poses no threat to other countries, stating that its defense doctrine is merely based on deterrence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
