Iranian Air Force commander reaffirms readiness to defend nation against any threat

TEHRAN – Iranian Air Force commander Brigadier General Hamid Vahedi has emphasized the Air Force’s unwavering preparedness to defend the country against any external threats, as tensions in the region remain high.

Speaking on Sunday at the Shahid Nojeh Air Base in Hamedan, Vahedi addressed a gathering of pilots and Air Force personnel, expressing pride in their dedication and resilience.

During his speech, General Vahedi praised the technical teams within the Air Force for their outstanding efforts in maintaining the fleet, despite the ongoing challenges posed by international sanctions. These sanctions, aimed at crippling Iran’s military capabilities, have failed to hinder the Air Force’s mission readiness, thanks to the tireless work of its maintenance crews. 

“The persistence and ingenuity of our technical staff have been instrumental in ensuring that our pilots can continue executing their missions,” he said.

Vahedi also reaffirmed the Air Force’s commitment to the strategic objectives set by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei. 

He underscored the importance of following the Leader’s directives closely, stating, “It is crucial that we fully adhere to and implement the instructions of the Supreme Commander to ensure our continued success and security.”
