Iran's Armed Forces Applaud Government Support During Wartime

Iran's Armed Forces on Tuesday praised the government's "relentless efforts" during recent wars, stating that its logistical management and support had doubled the country's deterrence against its enemies. In a statement marking Government Week, the General Staff of the Armed Forces and the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Command honored the memory of martyred officials Mohammad Ali Rajaei and Mohammad Javad Bahonar, as well as the late President Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib, and Defence Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh.

The statement said that the government's management of the difficult war period, under the guidance of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei and despite sanctions, had been a support base for fighters against the "American-Zionist enemies." The armed forces renewed their commitment to the ideals of the martyrs and declared that they would continue to stand beside the government to safeguard territorial integrity and political authority, using indigenous capabilities and modern military knowledge.

According to Mehr News Agency, the statement emphasized that the government's support during wartime significantly enhanced the country's defensive capabilities. The armed forces expressed gratitude for the government's efforts in providing necessary resources and logistics, which they said played a crucial role in maintaining national security.

The statement also highlighted the importance of unity between the government and the armed forces in facing external threats. It reiterated the commitment to uphold the principles of the Islamic Revolution and to protect the nation's interests against any aggression.

The report by Mehr News Agency added that the armed forces' acknowledgment comes amid ongoing regional tensions and underscores the close coordination between military and civilian leadership in Iran.
