🌍 Army maintaining full military readiness despite recent wars: Spokesperson 📌 Tehran, IRNA – The Iranian Army remains in full operational readiness despite two wars imposed by enemies, says spokesperson Brigadier General Mohammad Akraminia. According to a statement published by the Army on Thursday, Akraminia said that damaged systems have been modernized, new equipment has entered service, and efforts to strengthen combat capability are continuing without interruption. ​ He said preserving combat readiness is not limited to acquiring equipment, adding that recent improvements have been based on a combination of measures, including rebuilding and upgrading existing systems, introducing new equipment, expanding domestic capabilities and reinforcing personnel morale. ​ Akraminia said a significant part of combat capability, particularly under current conditions, depends on the modernization and restoration of damaged or worn-out systems, adding that the Army is pursuing reconstruction and upgrading programs through its own engineering and technical expertise. ​ “This process is not merely a technical operation, but part of the country’s broader defense strategy to preserve deterrence and increase rapid-response capability,” he said. ​ The spokesperson said the introduction of new equipment has enabled the Army to reorganize its weapons and military systems in line with current operational needs. ​ He described air defense as one of the country’s highest defense priorities, saying that in the face of complex regional conditions and diverse threats, it plays a decisive role in protecting the nation’s airspace and safeguarding vital infrastructure. ​ Akraminia said part of the defense development effort is carried out within the Army and part through cooperation with the defense industry and other specialized national institutions, a process that reduces external dependence and allows faster modernization. ​ He also emphasized the importance of personnel morale and discipline, saying the Army’s forces possess “jihadi spirit and a very high determination” to carry out their missions. 📲 ​
