Iran defense prowess untouched by psychological warfare: Dehqan

Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan says the Islamic Republic is resolved to further boost its defense capability and deterrent power regardless of psychological warfare by the enemies.

Dehqan made the remarks in a ceremony in Tehran on Tuesday to mark the delivery of eight helicopters, manufactured and overhauled by Iran’s Defense Ministry, to the country’s civilian and military bodies.

He added that the move has been carried out in line with the ministry’s plans to effectively support Iran’s Armed Forces and make use of the country’s defense sector to supply the requirements of the non-military sector.

He also indicated the high capabilities of Iranian defense experts and their determination to meet the country’s needs by relying on domestic capacities.

“This process is underway constantly and with seriousness in all defense industries affiliated to Defense Ministry in sea, ground, air, air-defense, aerospace, missile, electronic and hi-tech industries sectors and with the purpose of improving the defensive capability and deterrent power of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Dehqan said.

He emphasized that the enemies’ psychological warfare and propaganda campaign have never affected and will never influence Iran’s defense capabilities.
