Senior commander warns of enemy plot in cultural sphere
TEHRAN- A high-ranking commander within the Iranian Army has raised concerns over an orchestrated scheme by adversaries in the arena of soft warfare.
Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari, serving as the deputy chief of the Iranian Army for coordination, highlighted the imperative of instilling Iranian-Islamic values and cultural norms among Iranian households.
Admiral Sayyari underscored the necessity of promoting the Iranian-Islamic way of life, particularly among the youth, as a defense against external influences.
He emphasized the pivotal role of culture and positive educational approaches in shaping the correct lifestyle, advocating for comprehensive programs tailored to families and children aimed at fostering meaningful connections to Iranian and Islamic cultural heritage.
On May 10, the admiral underscored the importance of directing the new generation’s attention toward content creation in the domain of Sacred Defense.
During his visit to the 35th Tehran International Book Fair (TIBF), Rear Admiral Sayyari emphasized the need to impart values to the youth through diverse means.
Admiral Sayyari stressed the significance of ensuring that the current generation comprehends the journey towards Iran's stability and authority.
Reflecting on the bravery and sacrifices made by Iranian youth during the Sacred Defense era, he pointed to the loss of 2,500 martyrs who laid down their lives to defend the nation.
The Sacred Defense refers to the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s.
Addressing attendees at the book fair, Sayyari posed a critical question: Are today's youth cognizant of the challenges faced by the Islamic Republic, including threats to its sovereignty and national security aimed at undermining its revolutionary values?
In conclusion, the admiral emphasized the necessity of implementing forward-looking strategies to engage more young people in content production related to the Sacred Defense.
