Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi has hailed the country’s military achievements stressing Iran’s support for developing interaction with other countries meanehile severing the hands of those plotting against the Islamic Republic.


Raeisi made the remarks in a meeting on Tuesday with senior officials of the Iranian Defense Ministry and Armed Forces on the occasion of National Defense Industry Day.

The chief executive praised the presence of Iran's Armed Forces in the region as an anchor of security, as opposed to the threatening presence of foreign forces, saying the country's defense industries support the Armed Forces in ensuring and promoting the Islamic Republic's security, authority and deterrence.

Stressing that the country's defense and nuclear industries have made the most progress despite the heaviest sanctions, the Iranian president referred to motivation, diligence and perseverance as the “main factors” of success in attaining such achievements.

Raeisi said the Islamic Republic aims to interact with the entire world countries, adding, “We warmly squeeze the hands of anyone reaching out to us for cooperation and friendship, but our powerful Armed Forces will cut off the hands of those seeking to carry out an act of aggression against Iran.”

The Iranian president also highlighted the necessity of protecting the country’s achievements in the defense industry and confronting the enemy’s acts of “sedition and infiltration” to hinder its progress.

 
During the ceremony on Tuesday, Raeisi oversaw the unveiling of the Mohajer-10 drone, a domestically-manufactured unmanned aerial vehicle with a maximum flight duration of 24 hours and a maximum speed of 210 kilometers per hour.

The ceremony also saw the unveiling of Arman-1 guided air-launched bomb.

Earlier in the week, Iran's domestically-manufactured Ababil ballistic missile was for the first time put on display at a military exhibition in Russia, alongside a range of other cutting-edge Iranian military equipment, including drones and electronic warfare systems.

Iranian military experts and technicians have in recent years made great progress in developing a broad range of military equipment, making the Armed Forces self-sufficient in the defense sector.

Iranian officials have repeatedly said the Islamic Republic will not hesitate to build up its defense capabilities, emphasizing that such abilities are entirely meant for the purpose of defense and will never be subject to negotiations.
