🖥 Armed Forces chief warns of ‘devastating’ response to any enemy attack 📌 Tehran, IRNA – Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Ali Abdollahi has warned that any “miscalculation” from adversaries would be met with “revolutionary, crushing, regret-inducing, and devastating responses.” In a message on Friday to Caretaker Defense Minister Brigadier General Majid Ebn al-Reza marking Iran’s Defense Industry Day on August 22, Major General Abdollahi described the country’s defense industry as a manifestation of indigenous and deterrent power in the face of unjust sanctions and the hostile actions of the “child-killing hegemonic powers.” ​ Abdollahi said Defense Industry Day commemorates the tireless efforts of experts, specialists, and committed personnel at the Defense Ministry, particularly those martyred while contributing to the development of Iran’s defense deterrence through faith and knowledge. ​ He described the defense industry as an indispensable pillar of national power and a key factor in consolidating Iran’s security and dignity. ​ The Armed Forces chief said developments at the Defense Ministry in recent years have gone beyond producing military equipment and amounted to a “deterrent defense industrial revolution.” ​ Major General Abdollahi attributed Iran’s defense achievements to the culture of self-reliance established by the founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini (RA), and the guidance of the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, saying that their emphasis on scientific self-sufficiency and deterrent power paved the way for the emergence of extensive defensive and offensive capabilities. ​ The top commander paid tribute to those martyred in Iran’s defense industry. He also stressed that the Iranian Armed Forces maintain comprehensive, smart, and up-to-date readiness across all domains, including land, sea, air, air defense, space, and cyberspace. 📲 ​
