Speaking at a gathering of commanders of the Iranian Army in Tehran on Tuesday, Hatami underlined that Iran, in the shadow of the high ideals of the glorious Islamic Revolution, has the ability to influence in the hearts of the free nations, but the influence of the enemies is merely restricted to the dependent rulers of the countries, and the nations are well aware that Iran always wants security and peace for the people of the region and the world.

“The global domination has always sought to provoke war and unrest in the region, in order to gain a huge return on arms sales, Hatami noted.

He also underlined that the enemies are not able to impose a credible threat against Iran and their goal is to restrict the regional influence and the defense power of the Islamic Republic.

Pointing to the unwarranted allegations of US ambassador to the United Nations regarding the use of Iranian missiles in the recent Yemeni military attack on Saudi Arabia, Hatami said that such unsubstantiated claims signaled the failure of US policies in the region and the world; it looks like a ridiculous, unrealistic show, and of course the Islamic Republic of Iran will pursue the necessary legal steps.
