The armed forces are ready to defend Iran with a new and advanced weapon: the deputy ombudsman.
Tehran, Irena. Deputy Speaker of the Parliament Ali Nikzad, referring to the country's proactive deterrence, says that the Iranian armed forces are fully prepared to face any threats or hostile actions of the enemy, with new and more advanced weapons.
In an interview with IRNA on Sunday, Nikzad, who emphasized the combat readiness of the armed forces, said that they are ready to protect the nation and maintain a strong presence on the ground, relying on the creativity and capabilities of young Iranians.
Referring to the anti-Iranian conspiracies and the recent war between the US and Israel, he said that the enemies failed to achieve their evil goals - which included dividing the Iranian territory, seizing the nation's resources, sowing discord in the region and inciting internal unrest.
The lawmaker also warned against the danger posed by the foreign military presence in West Asia, saying that Iran is not looking for war, but the United States should leave the region, arguing that its continued presence may set the stage for war to break out again.
Pointing to the U.S. warmongering approach, he said the region has continually seen global hegemonic powers take hostile actions, from orchestrating the 1953 coup to overthrow an elected government in Iran - to events in Libya, Guatemala, Chile, Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria.
According to him, the Americans, before starting the war in Iran in cooperation with Israel, assumed that they would end it quickly and at minimal cost, but they discovered that this dream would never come true, because they lacked a proper understanding of the Iranian nation, its armed forces and its geography.
