Defence Minister, Brigadier General Amir Hatami

Defence Minister, Brigadier General Amir Hatami has said Iran's power must be increased in all vital areas, including its defensive power, enabling the country to counter US-imposed sanctions more effectively.

Iran Press/Iran News: Brigadier General Amir Hatami said on Saturday that enemies have targeted the Iranian nation, pointing out to the hegemonic powers ill-intentions and malice towards Iran.

The US and its allies are trying to infiltrate Iran's military, cultural, political, and economic arenas because possessing information about your enemy is considered a huge advantage in battles, Iran Press reported.

General Hatami asserted that the US plots against Iran have all failed, but nonetheless, the enemy is still doing everything it can to harm Iran.  

"Today, Iran as a regional power has become a determiner of regional games, a position achieved only through resistance, reliance on internal capabilities, and development of defensive and military power," the Iranian Defence Minister said.
