IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, April 16, IRNA -- Head of Iran's Civil Defense Organization Brigadier General Gholam-Reza Jalali said on Thursday that the Iranian Army is one of the main sources of the country's authority in facing possible threats.
In a message on the eve of the national Army Day, which falls on April 18 this year, the commander said that Army proved its significant role through braveries it has made in the post-Revolution era, especially during the wartime (1980-1988).
He referred to the Iranian Armay as one of the main founders of the country's Civil Defense system.
Study of the history of the Islamic Revolution with all its ups and downs would indicate that the Army played a significant role in the victory of Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution by joining and supporting the thundering movement of the Revolution, he said.
The commander noted that the Iranian Army has succeeded to achieve progress, authority and honor in various fields and at the highest levels by using modern know-how in producing unique defense equipment and under the wise leadership of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.
He referred to the Iranian Army as one of the most powerful armies both in the region and in the present world.
