Iranian Nation to Overcome Hostilities

"The Iranian nation will go through the difficult situations and the Islamic Republic of Iran's Armed Forces will defeat any enemy too," General Salami said on Thursday, addressing the inauguration ceremony of 1,200 projects in Alborz province near Tehran.

He noted that beside the US, the Zionist regime, Saudi Arabia and Britain, poverty and deprivation are the enemies of the Iranian nation.

Referring to the developments made in the country under tough sanctions era, he said, “Construction of new refineries, dams and power plants is going on in Iran.”

In relevant remarks earlier this month, General Salami said Iran's display of might and power had deterred enemies' resort to the military option.

"We thank God that we have humiliated the enemy on land, on sea and in the air, and have knocked them down a peg and they have come to realize that they should not engage in a conflict with this nation," he said.

General Salami stressed that the Iranian Armed Forces do not allow the enemies to make the smallest aggression against the country, and added, "The enemy knows this and it knows that it should put its weapon down and raise his hands as a sign of surrender to the (Iranian) nation."
