A senior Iranian military commander said the Iranian people are well-prepared to defend their homeland against potential enemies, according to a report by Iran's state news agency IRNA.
Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari, deputy chief of the Iranian Army for Coordination, described all of Iran's population as soldiers, saying their combat readiness sends a clear message to adversaries, IRNA reported.
The report did not specify the context in which Sayyari made the remarks, such as a particular event, ceremony or military exercise, nor did it name any specific country or threat being referenced.
IRNA's report did not include additional detail on Iran's military posture or preparedness measures beyond the commander's general statement, and the remarks reflect an official Iranian government characterization rather than an independent assessment.
Iranian officials have periodically emphasized the country's defense readiness in public statements, particularly amid heightened regional tensions involving Iran and its adversaries.
