IRNA � Readiness and authority of the Iranian armed forces is a deterrent factor against the enemies and a source of honor for the country, said Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Army Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan.


During a visit to the summer camp of a military university in Tehran, General Pourdastan said that the enemy is well-planned, uses high-tech equipment and is insistent on its enmity which necessitates that the armed forces, as powerful hands of the Islamic establishment, make defensive capacities according to the threats.

'You should always turn threats into opportunities and get ready to fight against the global arrogance,' he added.
