General Talaei-Nik: Iran will not back down under any pressure

Pars Today -The spokesperson for the Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics of Iran has said that the experience of the last two wars has shown that the Iranian nation and armed forces will not retreat in the face of threats and pressure, and they will not hesitate with any party in defending their national security, independence, and territorial integrity.

According to Pars Today, citing IRIB News Agency, Brigadier General Reza Talaei-Nik, spokesperson for the Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics of Iran, stated at a ceremony commemorating the anniversary of the 12-day war, while honoring the memory of the martyrs of that battle and the martyrs of the Ramadan War: The 12-day war was the scene of the enemy's calculations being shattered and a display of the power of the Islamic Republic of Iran; a battle in which the Iranian nation and armed forces stood together to defend the country's independence, dignity, and security, and did not allow the enemy's objectives to be realized.

He added: After failing to achieve their objectives in the 12-day war, the American and Zionist enemies, through continued pressure, sanctions, and hostile actions, designed the Ramadan War with the aim of halting the process of growth, progress, and authority of the Islamic Republic of Iran. But once again, they faced defeat and were unable to break the will of the Iranian nation.

Brigadier General Talaei-Nik noted: The enemy assumed that through military pressure, terrorist acts, and the martyrdom of commanders, scientists, and officials of the country, it could stop the progress of the Islamic Republic of Iran. However, the Ramadan War proved that any threat against the Iranian nation will turn into an opportunity to strengthen defense capabilities, increase deterrence, and enhance the readiness of the armed forces.

Referring to the current situation in the region, he emphasized: The enemies of the Islamic Republic of Iran must accept the reality that the solution to the region's issues is not the continuation of aggression, insecurity, and warmongering, and they are compelled to accept a ceasefire and the cessation of hostile actions on all fronts. The experience of the last two wars has shown that the Iranian nation and armed forces will not retreat in the face of threats and pressure.

Brigadier General Talaei-Nik added: The Islamic Republic of Iran has not been and is not the initiator of any war, but in defending its national security, independence, and territorial integrity, it will not hesitate with any party. The armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, supported by the country's defense industry, are at the highest level of readiness, and any crossing of the Islamic Republic of Iran's red lines by the enemy will be met with a decisive, regrettable, and severe punitive response.
