Iranian defense minister warns ‘regret-inducing response’ to enemy’s mistake definite

The Iranian defense minister has reaffirmed that the Islamic Republic’s youth are certainly ready to deliver a “firm and regret-inducing response” to any miscalculation by their adversaries, and honored their unwavering commitment to the nation’s values and security.

“These valiant youths will never allow the enemy to covet this sacred land,” Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh emphasized, speaking during an event in the capital Tehran on Tuesday.

The adversaries were constantly seeking to create divisions and discord within the Iranian society, the official said, however, he expressed confidence in the level and quality of awareness and intelligence of young Iranian soldiers, who, he said, would never allow unity and brotherhood to be undermined in the country.

“The noble Iranian nation, our esteemed commanders, and dedicated statesmen rest assured that with the bravery and determination I have witnessed in our soldiers, there is no place for fear of the enemy or retreating from our principles and ideals,” he declared.

The defense chief also praised the contributions of Iran’s young scientists to the country’s progress and their role in overcoming economic and technological challenges.

“With these brilliant minds, overcoming sanctions and threats and reaching the highest peaks of success, as envisioned by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, is well within reach.”

‘Cognitive, perceptual warfare’

The minister, meanwhile, highlighted the importance of cognitive and perceptual warfare, stressing that the Islamic Republic’s youths would play a decisive role in this domain.

“With such insightful young individuals, defeating the enemy in the cognitive and perceptual battle is just as predictable as in conventional warfare,” he said.
