Iran not seeking war, but ready to defend: Leader’s office
The head of the office of Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says Iran is not seeking to get involved in war with any nation, but will defend its sovereignty.
“We [Iranians] do not seek war but are ready to defend the sovereignty and the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Hojjatoleslam Mohammad Mohammadi-Golpayegani said on Tuesday.
He hailed the Iranian military for the country’s peace and security despite the many threats posed by the enemy, and highlighted the role of Ayatollah Khamenei as the commander of the armed forces in deterring any act of aggression against Iran.
Mohammadi-Golpayegani recalled the capture of an advanced US spy drone, which was flying over the eastern Iranian town of Kashmar, in early December as a sign of Iran’s military might.
“The US spy aircraft which was captured by the armed forces was so important that [US President] Barack Obama personally begged for its return to that country,” he said.
