Army Chief Advocates for Fortifying National Defense Forces

The critical role of military healthcare in national defense was underscored by General Amir Hatami, Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Army, during a recent ceremony that celebrated the anniversaries of Avicenna (Physician’s Day) and Zakariya al-Razi (Pharmacist’s Day). His remarks highlighted the necessity of having strong and healthy personnel within the army to fulfill its essential missions.

General Hatami praised the unwavering dedication of military doctors, pharmacists, and medical staff, emphasizing that their contributions are vital to maintaining a capable and motivated army. He concluded his address by affirming the command structure’s full support for the ongoing improvement of Army healthcare, which he deemed essential for Iran’s defense strategy.

In a world where aggressors, particularly the Zionist regime, aim for dominance, General Hatami stressed the importance of a robust military. He stated, “The Army is entrusted with the great mission of safeguarding the independence, territorial integrity, and the system of the Islamic Republic.” He further elaborated on the significance of this mission, particularly for Iran, given its strategic and geopolitical position.

General Hatami pointed out that the importance of military strength is not a recent realization but a long-standing necessity for Iran. He remarked, “Not only in today’s Iran, but throughout history, due to the special conditions of our country, it has always been so.” He referred to Iran’s experiences during the First and Second World Wars, when despite declaring neutrality, the nation faced invasions and occupations.

Moreover, he recalled the eight-year Sacred Defense period, shortly after the Islamic Revolution, when Iran was attacked despite not posing a threat to any nation. “At a time when the Islamic Revolution had just triumphed and the slogan of the Iranian nation was ‘Independence, Freedom, Islamic Republic,’ we were once again attacked by the East and the West,” he recounted.

Hatami further lamented that even during recent conflicts, while Iranian officials were engaged in negotiations, Iran was attacked by the Zionist regime and the US, which he described as violations of international law. “We live in a region where there is an occupying, child-killing regime whose doctrine is that no country should be stronger or higher than it,” he stated, emphasizing the challenges Iran faces.

He articulated that in this complex global landscape, Iran must prioritize building a robust military force. “We need a powerful army to protect our nation,” he reiterated, underscoring the urgency of this mission in light of ongoing threats.

On June 13, Israel initiated an unprovoked aggression against Iran, which escalated into a 12-day conflict resulting in the deaths of at least 1,064 individuals, including military leaders, nuclear scientists, and innocent civilians. This conflict further aggravated tensions in the region.

In a concerning escalation, the United States joined the conflict by bombing three Iranian nuclear sites, which constituted a significant breach of international law. In retaliation, the Iranian Armed Forces targeted strategic sites within the occupied territories, as well as the al-Udeid air base in Qatar, the largest American military installation in West Asia.

Following these events, on June 24, Iran successfully executed retaliatory operations against both the Israeli regime and the US, effectively bringing the aggression to a halt. These decisive actions demonstrate the Iranian military’s capability and commitment to defending national sovereignty.

In summary, General Amir Hatami’s statements reflect the Iranian Army’s position on the necessity of military strength and healthcare in maintaining national security. His call for a powerful army is a response to the ongoing threats posed by external aggressors and highlights the importance of preparedness in a volatile region.

  • Military healthcare is essential for the strength and motivation of army personnel.
  • General Hatami praised military medical staff for their dedication and contributions.
