IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, Sept 21, IRNA -- The Ground Force of the Iranian Army is fully prepared and no threats would affect the country, Commander of the Army's Ground Force Brigadier General Ahmad-Reza Pourdastan said Saturday.
Speaking on the eve of the Sacred Defense Week, the commander ensured Iranians that their courageous soldiers would protect the country's territorial integrity and its Islamic establishment from any possible threats.
The commander stressed that 'the hollow threats of the enemies would cause no problem for Iranians.
September 22 is the start of the Sacred Defense Week in Iran which marks the anniversary of the beginning of Iraq's imposed war against Iran in 1980.
Iranians honor memories of the eight-year imposed war by holding various ceremonies nationwide.
Pourdastan said, during the past three decades, enemies of the Islamic Revolution were to eliminate Iran's Islamic establishment by making various conspiracies.
However, they have failed to achieve their goal, so far, due to the bravery of the Iranian armed forces, Pourdastan stressed.
He added that sanctions or other threats would make Iran more stronger against enemies of the Islamic Revolution.
