Major-General Ali Abdollahi, the armed forces chief of staff, made the statement during a visit to a military facility on Tuesday. He highlighted the readiness, motivation, and innovative capabilities of Iran’s forces, particularly in drone production, which he said reflects the nation’s readiness to counter any aggression.
