On the occasion of Mordad 31, which marks the National Day of Defense Industry in Iran, General Yahya Rahim Safavi issued a message to Iran's Acting Defense Minister, Brigadier General Seyyed Majid Ibn Reza. In his message, General Safavi emphasized that the country's defense industry, benefiting from the sublime instructions of the founder of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini (RA), and the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, has passed the stage of 'meeting demands' and has reached the level of 'active deterrent power'.

General Safavi highlighted the current threats facing Iran, stating, "Today, when the combined and complex hostilities of the terrorist US government and child-killing Zionist regime, along with their evil and demonic supporters, have targeted all economic, political, media, and military arenas, the main mission of the Ministry of Defense, beyond meeting current needs, is to design and produce intelligent, dynamic, and comprehensive deterrence at the level of conceivable and unconventional threats facing the country."

He also commemorated the names and memories of esteemed martyrs of the defense industry, including former Defense Minister martyr Nasirzadeh, nuclear scientist martyr Fakhrizadeh, and Namjoo, among others. He expressed sincere congratulations to all senior commanders, managers, scientists, specialists, and employees of the Ministry of Defense on the National Day of Defense, and prayed for everyone's increasing success under the auspices of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei.

According to Mehr News Agency, the message was issued on the occasion of the National Day of Defense Industry, underscoring the progress and capabilities of Iran's defense sector.
