‘Iran among top 10 military powers in the world’
IRAN: Iran’s Defence Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi
says the Islamic Republic is now among the top 10 countries in the world
in defense capabilities.
“I can state with confidence that in the defense sector Iran is among
the top 10 countries in the world,” Brigadier General Vahidi told
reporters in Tehran on Sunday.
On June 7, Iranian Assistant Defense Minister Brigadier General Ali
Shamshiri said that Iran currently ranks among the top military powers
of the world in missile capabilities. He also noted that the Islamic
Republic is in a superior position in terms of defense capabilities.
In recent years, Iran has made great achievements in the defense
sector and gained self-sufficiency in essential military hardware and
defense systems. The country has repeatedly made it clear that its
military might is merely based on the state's defense doctrine of
deterrence and that it poses no threat to other countries.
