Tasnim - General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces said the country�s deterrent power in the military sphere has reached such great magnitude that the enemies recoil in �strategic horror�.

In a statement released on Wednesday, in commemoration of the Islamic Republic Day, which falls on April 1, the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces hailed the country�s remarkable progress in the military and defense fields.

Iran�s deterrent power has reached such a point that the �front of enemies is recoiling with strategic horror� while the Iranian nation is assured of sustainable national security, the statement added.

It also restated the Armed Forces� commitment to press ahead with plans to boost defense capabilities and deterrent power in order to thwart the plots hatched by the adversaries of Iran.

On Saturday, Iran is going to celebrate the 38th anniversary of the outset of the Islamic Republic as the country�s official ruling system, which was approved by the overwhelming majority of Iranians in a landmark referendum back in 1979.
