The nominee for defense minister, Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh, spoke at the Iranian parliament regarding the recent retaliatory operation against Israel. He highlighted the need to strengthen deterrence against the Zionist regime and the United States’ involvement in supporting their actions.
Nasirzadeh emphasized the importance of defense and power to prevent enemy aggression, citing the Al-Aqsa Storm Operation and the blatant war crimes committed against Palestinians. He commended Iran’s deterrence capabilities for safeguarding the country from potential attacks.
The Iranian parliament is currently evaluating the qualifications of President Masoud Pezeshkian’s proposed ministers, with a confidence vote scheduled for Wednesday. Nasirzadeh’s insights on national defense and security play a crucial role in shaping Iran’s defense strategy and ensuring protection against external threats.
