MNA� Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami has said the Islamic Republic of Iran�s progress cannot be stopped because it is enjoying huge human resources and other sources of power.

According to the Public Relations Department of the Iranian Defense Ministry, Brigadier General Amir Hatami said in a ceremony in Tehran attended by the director generals of Iran�s Defense Ministry, that arrogant powers led by the United States are trying to manifest Iran as a country in crisis.

Brigadier General Hatami noted the arrogant powers are trying to divide Iranians and create a gap between the people and government by waging a psychological warfare.

He warned the enemies that after 40 years of sanctions, Imposed Iran-Iraq War, and global consensus against the Islamic Republic of Iran, it is more powerful, cohesive now and has a reliable and �active� deterrence power.

The Iranian defense minister said the enemies� policy is to �increase pressure outside the country with the aim of igniting protests inside,� explaining that the United States and Zionists backed by some puppet governments in the region are sponsoring some mercenary groups such as the MKO and Monarchists to target the Iranian people on social media.

The Iranian defense minister said that economic sanctions are also aimed at dividing the Iranians and separate the people from their government.

He further pointed out that Iran can solve its problems and disappoint its enemies through reliance on internal resources in line with the guidelines of the Leader of the Islamic Republic.
