🇮🇷 Breaking | Imam Khamenei (H) in Meeting with Senior Armed Forces Commanders:
1. Maintain Maximum Readiness and Enhance Both Hardware and Software Capabilities.
2. The Enemy is Frustrated and Agitated by the Islamic Republic’s Advancements.
3. Alongside Shortcomings, Progress Must Also Be Recognized.
Imam Khamenei (H), this afternoon met with a group of senior commanders and officials of the Armed Forces on the occasion of the new year. He described the Armed Forces as the nation’s shield and refuge against any aggressor. Emphasizing the continuous strengthening of maximum readiness and vigilance in both hardware and software aspects to fulfill this national responsibility, Imam Khamenei (H) stated: “The country’s advancements have angered and frustrated Iran’s adversaries. Of course, there are weaknesses in areas such as economic issues, which undoubtedly require efforts to address.”
4. Imam Khamenei (H) considered the hardware readiness of the Armed Forces to mean strengthening weaponry capabilities and enhancing organizational, structural, and livelihood aspects. He added: “Alongside hardware readiness, software readiness—meaning faith in one’s mission and certainty in the righteousness of the path—is very important, and there are hostile efforts to undermine it.”
5. Imam Khamenei (H) regarded the Islamic and independent nature of the Islamic Republic as the reason for the enmity against it and added: “What makes the enemy sensitive is not the name ‘Islamic Republic’ but the will of a country to be Muslim, independent, and with identity, and not to rely on others for its dignity, which angers them.”
6. Imam Khamenei (H), pointing to examples of the double standards of global bullies in allowing themselves to possess the most severe and catastrophic types of weapons while prohibiting defensive progress for others, said: “Certainty, faith, willpower, courage, and reliance on God must exist maximally in the Armed Forces because grand armies in history that lacked these features have been defeated.”
7. Imam Khamenei (H) considered maintaining and enhancing software readiness in society to require efforts from various sectors, including the national media and propaganda apparatuses, and added: “Fortunately, today the country is not only far ahead in terms of hardware readiness compared to the past but also very advanced in terms of software readiness, exemplified by the indescribable enthusiasm of hundreds and thousands of faithful and motivated youth to be present in fields requiring struggle.”
8. Imam Khamenei (H) also congratulated the new year to all Armed Forces personnel and their families and appreciated the valuable role of spouses and families in accompanying the forces to accomplish their missions.
9. At the beginning of this meeting, Major General Bagheri, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, referred to the events of the year 1403 in Iran and the region. He mentioned the global awakening on the issue of Palestine and the historic resistance of the people of Gaza and Lebanon against the crimes of the Zionist regime as proud peaks in the fight against oppression. He also honored the memory of the martyrs and commanders of the resistance.
10. General Bagheri listed strengthening defensive and deterrent capabilities, producing advanced equipment and weapons, conducting numerous high-quality exercises, complete coordination among the Armed Forces, contributing to the country’s progress and development, full synergy between the field and diplomacy, and cooperation with the government to realize the year’s slogan as the programs and actions of the Armed Forces. He thanked the honorable President for his commitment to supporting the country’s defense sector and said:
“The Armed Forces, backed by the people, are in full readiness and will leave the enemies of Iran longing for their sinister goals.”
