Maintain maximum military readiness, Khamenei tells top brass
Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Sunday emphasized the need for the country's armed forces to maintain maximum readiness and enhance both their hardware and software capabilities, saying Iran's advancements have angered its adversaries.
In a meeting with senior military commanders and officials on the occasion of the new Iranian year, Khamenei described the armed forces as the nation's shield and refuge against any aggressor.
He stressed the importance of continuous efforts to strengthen preparedness and improve both military equipment and the spiritual and ideological commitment of personnel.
He added that it is Iran's desire to be Muslim, independent, and self-reliant that provokes the anger of its enemies, not merely its name.
