Gen. Safavi: Iran's Armed Forces to Thwart Enemy's Threats

TEHRAN (Dispatches) - Senior advisor to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei on Tuesday stressed that the strength of the Iranian people and their mighty armed forces will thwart the enemies’ threats and conspiracies.
Addressing a group of army commanders, , Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi said countries and governments should protect their national interests while enemies try to annihilate them through wars.

"Regional countries pose no threat to Iran, but the current threats are now imposed by trans-regional powers,” he said.

"American forces will not be able to overcome our ground troopers as today's wars are short term and with reliance on high technical know-how,” Safavi said.

"Iran is strong enough to seriously deal with threats imposed by the U.S. or Zionist regime as well as regional forces,” he said.
