Tehran : A senior Iranian military commander said here Thursday that Iran is currently considered one of the world major powers.
“The Islamic Iran has gained its strength from its faith on God and following divine rules,” said Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Major General Mohammad-Ali Jafari.
Addressing a national gathering, he added that the strong belief of both Iranian people and authorities to real independence, self-sufficiency and fighting bullying powers with not retreat were among the major factors leading to Iran’s strength.
Referring to Iran’s progress in all fields, the IRGC commander said that was resulted from Iranians’ deep belief on Islamic instructions which encouraged Muslims to make progress.
According to the Jafari, defending the rights of the oppressed people both inside and outside the country within a framework which is based on justice, development and implementation of Islamic instructions, was the main reason for the country’s becoming a major power.
