Iran (IMNA) - Addressing a group of high-ranking Iranian military commanders and figures in Tehran, Ayatollah Khamenei stated that the Iranian forces have successfully presented a good image of their abilities and authority after punishing Israel, exhibiting a commendable picture of the Iranian nation, and proving the emergence of Iranians' willpower in the international arena.
The Leader congratulated the advent of National Army Day and the founding of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, stating that the latest developments have created a sense of grandeur and magnificence about Islamic Iran in the eyes of the world and international observers.
Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized that the high number of missiles and drones launched during Operation True Promise is a secondary and peripheral matter, stressing that the main issue is the manifestation of the willpower of the Iranian nation and armed forces across the globe.
Ayatollah Khamenei praised the well-planned measures of the Iranian Armed forces, highlighting the significance of reducing the costs while reaping considerable gains in any scenario. The Leader called upon the armed forces to continue their efforts and move to face hostilities and enemies by relying on innovative initiatives.
During the meeting, Major General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri, chief of staff of Iran's Armed Forces, presented a report on the recent Operation True Promise as well as the combat readiness of various divisions of the Iranian Armed Forces. Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) launched extensive missile and drone strikes last week on the Israeli-occupied territories in retaliation for the Israeli attack on April 1 against the Iranian consulate in Damascus, located next to the embassy building in Damascus’s Mezzeh district. The airstrike killed two senior Iranian military personnel who were on an advisory mission to Syria as well as five of their accompanying officers.
