Iran will develop defense capacities proportional to threats: Army commander
According to The Iran Project, Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan, head of the Strategic Studies Center of Iran’s Army, emphasized the importance of innovation in the defense industry.
“We must leverage academic research to advance our defense capabilities,” he said on Saturday.
Pourdastan addressed the evolving nature of warfare and the threats facing Iran, saying that global arrogance has waged a hybrid war by simultaneously employing all its components of power to defeat the “target country.”
Pourdastan pointed to US President Donald Trump’s threats against Iran and emphasized, “Trump and his associates seek to incite war, and we must confront the threats posed by the enemy.”
