TEHRAN – The commander-in-chief of the Iranian Army says the units under his command will do everything in their power to help the new Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian pursue his plans and policies for the development and prosperity of Iran.

Major General Seyyed Abdulrahim Mousavi pledged on Saturday, as he and several other commanders received the president at the Iranian Army Command and General Staff University (DAFOOS).

Mousavi emphasized that the Iranian Army is constitutionally responsible for safeguarding the country's independence, territorial integrity, and the Islamic Republic's system. He stressed the importance of the Army remaining both doctrinally sound and popular with the people.

“The Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has consistently highlighted these aspects as well as the Army's effectiveness,” Mousavi added.

He further noted that his appointment decree outlined four key missions: enhancing combat readiness, fostering spiritual and insightful excellence, addressing the needs of personnel, and promoting synergy. 

Mousavi expressed pride in the Army's substantial progress despite facing sanctions and challenges. He noted that the Leader has acknowledged the current Army as more faithful, revolutionary, and effective than ever before.

“In alignment with the strategy of the supreme commander of the Iranian Armed Forces, the military is dedicated to supporting the success of the fourteenth government and fostering synergy,” Mousavi emphasized.

The commander-in-chief reaffirmed the statement made by the supreme commander of Iranian Armed Forces, Seyed Ali Khamenei, emphasizing that the army truly exemplifies the motto “Army Sacrifices for the Nation.”

Mousavi assured that the military was fully prepared to support the fourteenth government, following the leader's guidance.
