Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said that the nation’s defensive capabilities and deterrent strength have evolved to such a level that no entity would dare contemplate an attack on its territory.

He asserted, "Our land, air, naval, and army forces, along with all those committed to defending this country, have mobilized to ensure that not a single inch of our territory falls into the hands of the enemy."

During his speech on Saturday at the military parade marking the anniversary of Sacred Defense Week, President Pezeshkian stated, "With the presence of our combat forces and the strength of our army, no power in the world could hinder the continuation of our revolutionary path."

He noted that Iran can stand proud due to the presence of its leaders, as well as the strength and dedication of its military, army, and navy.

Pezeshkian highlighted that the greatest sacrifices were made across the country during the years of the Iran-Iraq war, known in Iran as the Sacred Defense, emphasizing that "the enemy was driven to despair."
