Iran (IMNA) – Aref made the remarks in a message congratulating newly appointed senior military commanders following appointments by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei.
In his message, Aref praised the commanders for their records during the Iran-Iraq war and their roles in what he described as the “third sacred defence” — the recent war with the United States and the Israeli regime.
The new appointments include Major General Ali Abdollahi as chief of staff of the Armed Forces, Brigadier General Kioumars Heydari as his deputy, Major General Ahmad Vahidi as commander-in-chief of the IRGC, Major General Mostafa Izadi as his deputy, Rear Admiral Ali Ozmaei as commander of the IRGC Navy, and Hojjatoleslam Hossein Taeb as head of the Basij.
Aref said the enemy had employed “the most complex anti-human schemes” to undermine Iran’s authority and territorial integrity.
He added that the “brilliance, courage and powerful prudence” of Iranian commanders, together with the “wise and precise guidance” of the Leader, had thwarted those calculations.
