The Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics emphasized in a statement on the occasion of November 4: Strengthening the country's defensive power is a strategic mission and part of the great national jihad to safeguard Iran's independence and security and the ideals of the Islamic Revolution.
Reminder of the Resilience of the Iranian Nation
November 4 is a reminder of the resilience and steadfastness of the great Iranian nation against colonialism, domination, and the interference of arrogant powers, especially the criminal America. This day symbolizes the connection between awakening and religious awareness and national will in defending freedom, independence, dignity, and honor of Iran. The seizure of the U.S. embassy by students following the line of Imam (RA) in 1979 was a lasting manifestation of this historical truth that the great and determined Iranian nation does not tolerate foreign domination.
A Path to Independence and Security
Today, more than four decades after that historical event and in light of the experiences of recent imposed wars, the message of November 4 remains alive and guiding: The only path to independence is to cut off the greedy hands of foreigners and rely on national will and internal defensive capability. The experiences of recent wars have shown that trusting the promises of invading powers cannot replace vigilance and self-reliance. The Iranian nation does not succumb to threats in defending its rights and national security, nor does it retreat from its path of independence.
The conscious and responsible presence of the people, national cohesion and unity, and the unbreakable bond of the nation with leadership, government, and armed forces are among the most important supports of the country's power and security. Historical experiences and recent security developments have shown that political independence cannot be sustainably safeguarded without possessing scientific, industrial, and defensive power.
The Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics considers strengthening the country's defensive power a strategic mission with such an understanding of the concept of independence and national security. This power is not for threatening others; rather, it is to prevent any aggression and imposition of will on the Iranian nation. The youth, students, and scientific and technological elites of the country are Iran's strategic capital for building a powerful and independent future.
The Ministry of Defense also honors the memory and name of the martyrs of the Islamic Revolution and Sacred Defense, increasing everyone's responsibility in safeguarding the country's defensive achievements.
