IRGC commander says Iran's armed forces disrupted enemy calculations in US-Israeli wars

Brigadier General Mohammad Karami stated that the operations of Iran's Armed Forces, particularly the Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), during the second and third wars imposed jointly by the United States and Israel against Iran, disrupted the enemy's excessive demands and arrogant calculations. He made the remarks in a message issued on the occasion of National Aerospace Week in Tehran late on Monday, according to Mehr News.

General Karami used the occasion to praise the unflinching efforts and sacrifices of the country's aerospace forces, describing it as a valuable opportunity to review, acknowledge, and honor the significant achievements and strategic role of those who contributed to safeguarding and defending the authority, national security, independence, and territorial integrity of the country, as well as strengthening its deterrent power.

He highlighted that today the authority of Islamic Iran in the realm of strategic deterrence and the nation's defensive capabilities is deep-rooted in the sincere endeavors of martyrs such as Hassan Tehrani Moghaddam, known as the Father of Iran's Missile Program, former IRGC Aerospace Force Commander Amir-Ali Hajizadeh, and Mahmoud Bagheri. According to General Karami, these individuals laid the foundations of the Islamic Republic of Iran's missile power, nurtured it to fruition, and enhanced the name of Iran among the major powers of the region and the world as a paragon of faith, progress, and steadfastness.

The message comes amid ongoing tensions and a focus on Iran's defensive achievements. The report by Mehr News added that the commemoration served to honor the contributions of the aerospace forces and their role in bolstering national security.
