The shield of Iran

Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei once said, "Security is a blessing without which no lasting progress is possible."

For him, defensive strength was never about initiating war, but about preventing it. This is the story of a vision that saw security as the foundation of progress, independence and national dignity, a vision rooted in the role of the people, the mission of the armed forces, the power of faith and unity, and the strength of deterrence.
