Raisi: Iran needs no global power to ensure its security
President Ebrahim Raisi said Iran’s security is “endogenous”; the Islamic Republic does not rely on any global power to ensure its national security.
Raisi made the remarks in an address to the graduation ceremony for cadets studying in the academies of Iran’s Armed Forces, which was held in Imam Hassan al-Mujtaba University of Officer and Police Training in Tehran on Monday, Press TV reported.
He said, Iran’s security stems from the presence of people in various scenes and from awareness, awakening, and vigilance and the presence of the armed forces.
“Our security does not depend on other countries and conventional powers in the world,” the president asserted.
He argued that security is Iran’s most vital need, as he pledged to strengthen the defense prowess of the country.
“Defense power, economic stability and cultural capability are three important components of national strength,” Raisi emphasized.
He added that the enemy is hell-bent on hindering the Iranian nation’s progress through acts of sabotage, sanctions and threats, but Iranians are resolute on moving in the path of development.
“In this war of wills, the will of the great Iranian nation has achieved victory so far and it will continue to be victorious in the future,” the president stated.
He said the Iranian nation’s presence in various scenes and its accountability have foiled all the enemies’ plots over the past 45 years.
Elsewhere in his address, Raisi noted that the United States and the Israeli regime have the most despised armed forces in the world, emphasizing that Palestine and Gaza are now the leading issues of humanity.
Israel waged its genocidal war on the besieged Gaza in October, after the Palestinian Hamas resistance group carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.
Israel has so far killed at least 30,534 Palestinians, mostly women and children, while injuring 71,920 others.
