Iran's authority, natl. security achievements of Islamic Revolution

 Speaking in a ceremony Tue. to commemorate the 32nd anniversary of assigning Flight Security and Air Protection to IRGC by Imam Khomeini's order, Rezaei pointed to lack of authority as one of the important problems that arose over 300 years in Iran, saying our country, society and borders became vulnerable when we lost our authority.

Mostly the foreign powers tried to take Iran's authority, to make them dependent and slave; they took us as valets in Shah's era, so that we could not have authority, he noted.

The enemies of the Islamic Republic separated many lands from Iran and took away Iran's possessions and resources, Rezaei added.
