Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Spokesman General Ramezan Sharif said the Zionist regime and the US have well-understood the message of IRGC’s recent war game, codenamed Payambar-e Azam 14 (The Great Prophet 14).
Noting that the arms and economic sanctions have not affected Iran’s development of military power and its offensive deterrence, the IRGC General said Iranian Armed Forces have reached an acceptable level of self-reliance and capacity for indigenizing the required weaponry and equipment that they cannot be restricted by any of the enemies’ plots.
He added that the enemies are fully aware that Iran will give a proper response to all of their threats against the country’s interests.
The spokesperson noted that the held military exercise, in Iran’s southern province of Hormozgan, western parts of the Strait of Hormuz, and the Persian Gulf, has a peace message to the region, seeking regional security which has been threatened by the presence of the transregional and foreign forces.
