Iran's Army Chief Brigadier General Mohammad Hossein Dadras announced here Friday the specialized forces of the army have produced three million hardware parts.
Iran has the capability of producing all kinds of equipment which serves the national interests and repel any aggression, the army commander said in his address to worshipers at Tehran University Campus.
The army has deployed six divisions in strategic points across the country, it has cleaned up over 800,000 hectares of mine-infested areas and has defused 10 million land mines (remaining from the Iraqi-imposed war in 1980-1988), he said, highlighting the potentials of the army which have been reinforced in the wake of the imposed war.
Elsewhere in his remarks, he maintained that the US has legalized bombardment of Iraqi and Afghan innocent people and has defended establishment of notorious prisons like Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib to secure its interests, he said.
He blasted the big powers who claim if a country does not enjoy a high military might in modern world, it would be doomed.
"One billion of Muslims own 70 percent of the world's energy resources but they are deprived of making use of their resources.
But Iran is capable and is able to tell the world that it has some sources of energy through which the nation would safeguard dignity." President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced on Tuesday evening that the country has produced the full uranium enrichment thanks to the efforts of the Iranian researchers and scientists.
