Major General Hossein Salami, the Commander of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), has reiterated the military strength and readiness of Iran's armed forces to defend the nation against any threats. He emphasized that no foreign power can defeat the IRGC in land, sea, or air operations. Salami stated that Iran's allied groups are capable of producing their own weapons and operate independently, while Tehran supports them to the maximum extent. He highlighted that the IRGC's power is rooted in its connection to divine strength and wisdom, asserting that the organization remains formidable due to its ideological beliefs. Salami's remarks come amid rising tensions in the region, particularly concerning potential military actions by Israel in response to Houthi missile launches from Yemen.
