“With the passing of 27 years from the victory of the Islamic revolution, the Iranian nation will defend the goals and gains of the Islamic Republic with more determination and unity”, Safavi said.

“The enemies do not have the capacity to launch a military strike against Iran”, he said, adding that if they did carry out such an action the Revolutionary Guards, the Bassij, and the regular armed forces would come down on them with their “full might”.

He said that Iran had the strongest military force in the Middle East.
