Iran’s Secretary of the Supreme
National Security Council, Mohammad Bagher Zolqadr, on Monday called on
Iranians to maintain unity and cohesion, while insisting that Tehran would not
retreat from its position amid ongoing regional tensions.
In a statement carried by Iranian
media, Zolqadr said the country’s military, diplomatic efforts, and public
mobilization had demonstrated “heroic resistance” and succeeded in “confusing
and defeating the enemy.”
The country now needs unity and
cohesion more than ever, so that the Americans and Israelis will also be
disappointed in this field, he said.
Zolqadr described national unity
as “another battlefield in the confrontation,” adding that collective efforts
to prevent actions or statements that weaken internal cohesion would lead Iran
to “final victory.”
Earlier, Major General Ali
Abdollahi, commander of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, the
central command coordinating Iran’s conventional military, announced that the
country would introduce new air defense systems into service to confront aerial
attacks “more effectively.”
Separately, Iranian Foreign
Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei stated that Tehran was not currently
focused on discussions surrounding its nuclear program, stressing that Iran’s
priority was “ending the war and reaching the best solutions that guarantee the
country’s interests.”
