TEHRAN – In an official statement issued on Wednesday, the Iranian Armed Forces declared that Iran remains steadfast despite the efforts of enemies to weaken the country through sanctions and threats.

The statement underscored the global arrogance's pursuit to tarnish Iran's image, fuelled by irreparable failures and sanctions. It emphasized, “Regardless of such negative forces, Iran remains unwavering and resolute against any potential attack on the nation, its interests, or its citizens.”

Highlighting the significance of this day as the glorious entry of the Islamic Revolution's founder into his homeland, shaping the destiny of the Iranian nation, the statement reflected on the past 45 years since the beginning of the Islamic Revolution. Despite relentless conspiracies by adversaries seeking to undermine and dismantle the revolution, Iran and its people have dynamically and purposefully evolved toward building a modern Islamic civilization. “The self-awareness and identity cultivated by the Islamic Revolution have not only revitalized Iranians but also resonated across the Islamic world.”

The statement conveyed, “Amid irreversible battlefield defeats, global arrogance now faces condemnation in the court of awakened consciences worldwide. However, under the leadership of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the people have consistently thwarted sinister plans and safeguarded the lofty ideals of Ayatollah Khomeini.”

Expressing gratitude for the valour, sacrifices, and wholehearted presence of the noble Iranian nation, the Armed Forces pledged to serve the Leader, defend the lofty ideals of Ayatollah Khomeini, and safeguard the achievements of the holy system of the Islamic Republic. This commitment reflects unwavering dedication to preserving the principles and progress of the Islamic Revolution for the prosperity of Iran and the Muslim world.
