Iranian MP Boroujerdi says defense industry will continue to advance strongly

Alaeddin Boroujerdi, a member of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, said in an interview with Mehr News Agency that Iran's air defense and offensive capabilities will undergo a transformation, and that significant progress is expected in other defense sectors as well. He stressed the need to enhance the country's defensive capabilities, stating that the Islamic Republic's abilities in air defense and aerial offense will undoubtedly change dramatically. He compared future developments to the investment in the missile and drone sectors that led to the production of the Shahed drone, which has become a globally recognized product, and said similar progress and enhancement of national capabilities will be witnessed in other defense areas.

Boroujerdi said that given the crimes committed by enemies, the Iranian nation has developed a stronger revolutionary spirit and that the level of national solidarity has increased. Despite the damages and losses the country sustained during what he described as the imposed war (the 12-day and 40-day conflicts), he believes these developments have brought significant achievements in terms of military, political, and national authority, as well as social cohesion.

The senior lawmaker also referred to the assassination of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, by the United States and Israel, emphasizing that the country must exact revenge for the blood of the martyred leader and other martyrs from the United States and the Zionist regime. He considered the public's presence on the scene as a prominent manifestation of this solidarity, stating that a clear example of national unity and cohesion can be seen in the people's presence.

Boroujerdi emphasized the necessity of maintaining national unity, noting that Iran must remain vigilant and not allow the enemy's schemes aimed at fostering division and discord within the country to succeed. He concluded that preserving national unity and solidarity is a fundamental necessity in the current situation and that all must strive to safeguard it, according to Mehr News Agency.
