The Iranian government is taking all necessary measures to strengthen the country's defense capabilities, improve the logistical support of the Iranian Armed Forces, and modernize existing military equipment.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, these remarks were made by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian during a recent policy address regarding national security.
"The government provides comprehensive support to the armed forces and intends to continue fully supporting the implementation of strategic plans to strengthen defense capabilities, create logistical support for the Iranian army, modernize weapons and operational infrastructure, and increase deterrence potential," Pezeshkian noted.
The announcement comes amid heightened regional tensions and shifting diplomatic dynamics. It is noteworthy that on May 18, US President Donald Trump announced the cancellation of a planned US strike against Iran scheduled for May 19. This decision followed requests from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, who expressed belief in the possibility of reaching an agreement that would ensure Tehran's renunciation of nuclear weapons.
Iran's military modernization efforts typically focus on indigenous missile technology, drone production, and naval capabilities in the Persian Gulf. These strategic steps are viewed by Tehran as essential components of its national sovereignty and regional influence, particularly as international actors continue to monitor the country's nuclear program and defense posture.
