IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, Nov 26, IRNA
Iran-Supreme Leader
Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday that Iran has now turned into a regional power thanks to its reliance on God and utilization of all its facilities.

Ayatollah Khamenei, addressing commander of the Islamic Republic Navy force Rear Admiral Sayyari and his deputies, said Iran has now acquired precious experiences for making progress and attaining prosperity to the dismay of big powers.

The Supreme Leader said respect for spirituality and communion with God will strengthen decision making process and that's a divine promise.

Noting that the Army belongs to Iran and Islam, Ayatollah Khamenei said revolutionary origin and high potential of the army has become evident to all, an instance of which was the astonishing courage of the air and naval forces in the beginning of the eight-year imposed war.

Ayatollah Khamenei highlighted the spiritual, technical, combat and military capabilities of the Navy and said now, the young and powerful forces of Iran, despite sanctions, have been able to build the most complicated naval facilities and repair them if needed.

Prior to the Supreme Leader's speech Commander of the Islamic Republic Navy Rear Admiral Sayyari briefed the audience on the deterrent power of his forces and their combat readiness.
