Iranian president: The countries of the region can rely on our armed forces; there is no need for external forces

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi gave a speech at the military parade on the occasion of Iran Army Day.

“The armed and modern army, the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and our Armed Forces are the country’s backbone. The forces in the region can rely on our armed forces. If Israel commits even the slightest violation against our territory, it will receive a harsh response,” Raisi said.

Addressing the countries of the region, he noted: “I am telling the countries of the region that our military forces create security and peace, are a source of strength for the region, and are totally reliable. Instead of the ties with the Zionist regime, those countries should rely on their own achievements. There is no need for external forces in the region,” he concluded.
