Iran Press/Iran News: In an exclusive interview with Iran Press news agency on the sidelines of the conference commemorating the 2009 anniversary named "Dey 9 epic feat" today in Tehran, the head of Iran's Civil Defense Organization Brigadier General Gholamreza Jalali said, "Iran is one of the countries that have the soft power of the people and in fact, people are our defense, security, and social support ."
"In other words, while we used the army during the Sacred Defense to defend the people, but according to the military commanders, it was the Basij that gave the main momentum to defend against the enemy" Gholamreza Jalali highlighted.
"From the beginning of the revolution until now, our leaders have tried to convey all the issues to the people, since they believe that the response to the challenges must be through the people and when people come to declare their loyalty to the values ??and the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, that moment is actually the end of the sedition. On Dey 9th, the enemy tried to use the people as its own interest, but when the leadership described the situation to the people, the sedition was turned down."
"In other words, we have a popular security-defense force that we must both take care of and support it that is the power behind the revolution," he added. 205/219
