Rahmani-Fazli defined the civil defense as the combination of those acts that increase the deterrence power, decrease the vulnerability, lead to the continuation of the necessary activities, elevation of national resistance, and facilitating the crisis management in times of confrontation with the enemy’s military threats and antagonist acts. “Therefore, a strong bond exists between the necessities and requirements of the civil defense and provision of security, so that facilitating for the provision of those necessities and requirements in various dimensions can be evaluated in line with providing national security,” added the interior minister. He stressed that as an important and influential country in the international scene that is located in a particular natural and political geographical expanse, and due to pursuing an ideological approach, Iran is in need of devising a solid, broad-scale, and satisfactory plan for expansion of its civil defense program.
