Major General Salaami made the remarks on Tuesday on the sidelines of the ceremony near Tehran to mark the Army Day, noting, "We wish nothing but security and peace for the states of the region and that the message of today’s military parade for the neighboring countries is that Iran supports the Muslim nations and does not abandon them in difficult situations."
Iran has always maintained peace and tranquility in dealing with the neighboring states, he argued.
As to Iran’s distinguished situation in the region and its unique defense might which is rare in the region and the world, General Salaami stated that due to its position, the Islamic Republic of Iran is the anchor of stability and security in the region and it makes efforts to utilize its defense power to guarantee peace in the region.
