TEHRAN - A senior commander has proudly proclaimed the possession of the most advanced and cutting-edge military equipment by the Iranian Army.

"Today, in defiance of all sanctions, we stand independently, providing our essential defense equipment," Deputy Army Chief for Coordination Rear Admiral Sayyari told reporters on Tuesday.

Emphasizing the pivotal role of human resources, particularly in a military context, Sayyari underscored that personnel represent the most critical asset for any organization. He argued that proficient human resources empower organizations to deliver the most effective response to threats.

Admiral Sayyari proudly declared that, amidst adversities, the army's qualitative human force has successfully acquired the best and most modern equipment, showcasing the nation's resilience and self-reliance.

He cited the Leader of the Islamic Revolution who had previously warned that possessing the best equipment without the qualitative force to utilize them would lead to inevitable loss.

The admiral emphasized that the world continues to be captivated by the successful Iranian military operations over the past decades, with their lessons now integrated into university teachings.

Despite the challenges posed by sanctions, the Iranian Army, as highlighted by Admiral Sayyari, maintains its independence in supplying necessary defense equipment. This accomplishment, he underscored, is a testament to the empowering slogan, "we can," driven by the nation's qualitative human resources.

Iran has witnessed a surge in the export of military equipment in recent years. Experts believe that this global outreach not only enhances Iran's strategic influence but also solidifies its position as a significant player in the international defense market. The ability to provide cutting-edge equipment, both domestically and internationally, seems to have positioned the Iranian military as a formidable force, showcasing the nation's commitment to self-sufficiency and excellence in the defense sector.

In the complex landscape of global geopolitics, Iran's achievements in the military sector are believed to underscore its capacity to navigate challenges as a self-reliant force, both at home and on the international stage. This narrative of resilience and success appears to have resonated both within and outside the country’s borders.
