This achievement was the result of the measures of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, Imam Khamenei, who was the architect of the construction of the armed forces.

Brigadier General Kargar continued: Although we lost some commanders in the recent crime of the United States and the Zionist regime, several ranks of successors were appointed with due care so that the missions could be carried out and realized.

He addressed the simultaneous martyrdom of the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, the Commander-in-Chief of the IRGC, the Minister of Defense, and the Head of the Office of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, and emphasized that despite these martyrdoms, there was no disruption in the level of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, stressing: Praise be to God, Major General Abdollahi, Commander of the Central Headquarters of Khatam al-Anbiya (PBUH), and Brigadier General Vahidi, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the IRGC, managed and commanded the war in the best possible way, and there was no disruption in the armed forces, because the work is progressing as defined.

Emphasizing that Imam Khamenei was martyred in the field and while leading, Brigadier General Kargar said: One of the characteristics of the armed forces in the Islamic Republic is that the commanders are at the forefront of the battlefield. Today, we have complete defense readiness, and in terms of human resources, which are our assets, we have committed, revolutionary, and Mujahideen forces in the army, the IRGC, the Ministry of Defense, and the Faraj.

The head of the Foundation for the Preservation and Publication of Sacred Defense and Resistance Works and Values continued: The Iranian people should know and be confident and have trust and confidence that the armed forces are ready to defend the country, and God willing, they will teach a good lesson to the criminal America and the child-killing Zionist regime and will advance until the enemy is completely defeated.

Regarding the characteristics of the new generation of the IRGC and the armed forces in our country, he said: The current generation of our armed forces is better and smarter than the generation of warriors from the era of Sacred Defense; therefore, we are witnessing their brilliance. These young people today are brighter in various aspects. During the Sacred Defense era, I was personally responsible for the human resources at the Najaf base, and I can fully emphasize that today's youth, despite being exposed to propaganda war and the media empire, are intelligent, familiar with current science, and insightful.

The head of the Foundation for the Preservation and Publication of Sacred Defense and Resistance Works and Values added: Today, the situation of the Islamic Republic of Iran is far better in various aspects than during the Sacred Defense era; in a situation where we did not even have the possibility of building the simplest equipment, but today we design, build, and fire all of our equipment ourselves.

Brigadier General Kargar said that Imam Khomeini (RA) and Martyr Imam Khamenei are the architects of the country's defense system and emphasized: Today, in terms of economy, human resources, equipment, and knowledge, we are far better and more prepared than during the Sacred Defense era; of course, these achievements belong to the Iranian people, and we should congratulate them for them.

The head of the Foundation for the Preservation and Publication of Sacred Defense and Resistance Works and Values, emphasizing that the Islamic Republic of Iran has gone through various incidents and events and today, despite the difficulties, is close to the peak, added: People must have some patience to reach the peak and the final victory.

In response to a question about the level of equipment capabilities of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran to confront the enemy, he said: In the defense field, all predictions have been made by learning from the 12-day imposed war. The Islamic Republic of Iran will not face any problem in completely defeating the enemy in the field of weapons; because it itself relies on domestic production and uses equipment and weapons, proportionately, with complete, correct, calculated and punctual planning, and good order prevails in this field, and fortunately we have no problems.

Brigadier General Kargar stated: First of all, we mourn the martyred leader of the revolution; but today we must have revolutionary anger towards the enemy and teach them a lesson, and of course, there is no anger at the level of the armed forces, but the response to the enemy is carried out with planning, order and calmness. Therefore, the armed forces first have control over themselves, their systems and forces and will not be deceived by the enemy.

The head of the Foundation for the Preservation and Publication of Sacred Defense and Resistance Works and Values described the unity of Iran's institutions and officials as unparalleled and, while praising the measures taken, said: We must be grateful for these people, good officials, the President, the Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, the Leadership Council, the governors and other officials of the country who are united, and without any differences in carrying out the defense of the country, which has been achieved under the leadership of the Martyr Leader of the Revolution.

He considered the government's foresight in providing the people with necessities, health care, and fuel as exemplary and emphasized: This unity has been exemplary throughout the years of the Islamic Revolution, and today there is no shortage, and fortunately, life is going on.

Regarding the possibility of a land threat and attack on Iran's borders, Brigadier General Kargar said: All our ranks in the armed forces are on full alert, and by the way, the Ground Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the army and the IRGC are among the strongest and most prepared forces, with superior manpower, equipment, and superior hands compared to the world's Ground Forces.

Emphasizing that Iran's borders are fully secure, Brigadier General Kargar said: The borders of the Islamic Republic of Iran are fully secure; because we have intelligent border guards; therefore, we are fully prepared for any eventuality in this regard. Of course, the Iranian people must be alert and on the scene.

Finally, regarding the level of capability of the armed forces to respond and completely defeat the enemy, he said: There is no concern or deficiency regarding the equipment and capabilities of the armed forces to completely defeat the enemy, and the armed forces are on the scene and the Iranian people can be sure that the enemy will not achieve its goals and the final victor will be the Islamic Republic and the people of Iran.
