Iran’s military forces highly prepared: defense minister

TEHRAN, July 25 (MNA) – Iranian military forces are fully prepared to defend the country against any military actions, Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi said on Saturday.

“The country’s military forces have perfected their skills through different military drills and are in good condition in terms of military morale,” Vahidi stated.

His remarks came in reaction to the proposition of a draft resolution by the U.S. House of Representatives according to which a number of Republicans expressed support for Israeli military action against Iran.

The U.S. officials are running a propaganda campaign against Iran to advance their own interests in the run-up to the upcoming U.S. congressional election, he noted.

He went on to say that the Zionist regime is under pressure by its people as well as by the international community because of the crimes it has recently committed in Gaza. And such measures are aimed at reducing such pressures as well as launching a psychological warfare.

Vahidi went on to say that the U.S. and Israeli experts have announced that they cannot face Iran’s defensive power.
