In a message posted on the social media platform X, he referred to the key role of these demands in strengthening the country's defensive power.

Turning Threats into Readiness

Akhlaghi stated that responding to the repeated threats from America is not merely a rhetorical competition, adding: "We must turn these threats into greater preparedness and more effective defensive power."

Responding to Threats

Akhlaghi stated that Iran will not reduce its defensive power under any circumstances and will always be ready to respond to any threats. These statements come at a time when tensions between Iran and the United States have increased in recent years, making the response to these threats one of the main priorities of the Ministry of Defense.

Akhlaghi specifically mentioned the role of the Aerospace Force of the IRGC and the Army's air defense, emphasizing the necessity of meeting the demands of these forces as part of the overarching defensive strategy of the country.

This new approach in the Ministry of Defense could herald transformations in the level of the country's defensive and military preparedness. Given the current threats, focusing on new technologies and meeting the real needs of the armed forces are among the vital actions that could lead to tangible results in the near future.

Ultimately, Akhlaghi, emphasizing adherence to the country's defensive principles, stated that the Ministry of Defense will spare no effort in realizing these principles and will always strive to strengthen Iran's defensive power and national security.
