Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has reaffirmed his administration’s absolute commitment to the nation’s military readiness, stating that the government supports the strengthening of the armed forces with all its capacity, Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency reported. The president made the remarks during a high-level security meeting with Major General Amir Hatami, Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Army. According to the report, the discussions focused heavily on national defence policy, operational readiness, and the strategic reinforcement of the state’s military infrastructure. Underscoring the foundational pillars of the Islamic Republic’s defence doctrine, the Iranian President emphasised that internal cohesion and military capability are entirely codependent when safeguarding the nation from external challenges. “National unity and the authority of the armed forces are the most important backing for the country’s security,” President Pezeshkian stated during the meeting.
