President Sayyid Ebrahim Raisi stated during the ceremony that the Armed Forces and the Revolutionary Guards are two formidable institutions, adding, “the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Armed Forces wield enormous power. Today, our military might is discussed not only in the region but also around the world.” Noting that the army has become stronger by using the opportunities created by the sanctions, President Raisi added that even the smallest movement of the Israeli regime is monitored by the Iranian Armed Forces and security institutions. “If you take the smallest action against our people, the target of our Armed Forces will be the Israeli regime’s capital,” President Raisi said.
