During a visit to the Hamedan province on Thursday, Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi said that the slightest aggression toward Iran will be dealt with accordingly.

In his speech, Raisi said that "with the amount of power Iran holds today, no one even dares to invade this country, and the neighboring nations in the region are proud of Iran's influence and feel safe because of it."

He noted that the US-backed foes of Iran are keeping a close eye on the achievements made by the Iranian armed forces and that the presence of Iran's military in international waters was a major contributor to regional security and stability in the region.

“Today we have no war in the country, but the Army and the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) rush to help the people in floods, earthquakes, and in the battle against the coronavirus,” Raisi said in his speech.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Raisi stated that Tehran would never surrender itself to the expansionist power-hungry entity. That is because the Iranian people demand that their nation remains committed to the defense of its own people, he added.

"The Iranian people have frustrated the enemies as they know that the Iranian nation is risk-taking, and prepared to defend the country," Raisi said.

Raisi mentioned in his speech that Iran's foes are determined to discredit Iran's values and its ideology, but these conspiracies are destined to flop - just as every previous attempt carried out by the enemy.

"When the White House officially announces that the Iranian nation’s resistance has neutralized all the American sanctions and economic pressure, this means that the presence of the people produces power for the country," Iran's President emphasized.

Iran has repeatedly warned that any offense carried out by the US and "Israel" will be met with Tehran's use of appropriate force.

Iranian officials said Washington and "Tel Aviv" are well aware of Tehran’s capabilities and cautioned that Tehran does not make compromises about its own national security.

Iranian officials have repeatedly underlined the necessity for the settlement of the crises and problems in the region through collective cooperation among the regional states and underscored that the presence of foreigners is harmful.

Recently, Tehran urged neighboring countries to remain extremely vigilant about any US-Israeli plan that aims to disturb the security and stability of the region.

Iran says "Israel" is the primary source of instability in the MENA region, and the US remains responsible for much of the region's ongoing violence, due to its crisis-making policies to which many countries have fallen victim.
