Iran Has Every Right to Upgrade Military Technology

By: Kayhan Int’l 

Every country has the inalienable right to defend its national sovereignty, its territorial integrity, its religious principles, its cultural heritage, its industrial capabilities, its scientific achievements, its economic progress, its influence among the community of nations, and all aspects related to the interests of its people.

In order to defend these vital values and to deter any would-be-aggressor from undermining them, every country is entitled to develop and procure state-of-the-art military technology, without which its peace, security, independence, and progress would be at risk. 

As a matter of fact, God Almighty enjoins Muslims to be prepared for defence and grants permission to thwart the evil designs of the devilish powers run by satans in human form.

In view of these undeniable factors the Islamic Republic has taken giant strides in all fields including defence industries so as to ensure the strengthening of the country and transform it into a formidable bastion for protecting the life, property, and welfare of the citizens.

Faced with enemies intent upon harming Iran and the Iranian people, the Islamic Republic, which is the principal victim of terrorism ever since it ended American hegemony forty years ago, has taken commendable steps to become self-sufficient in the field of defence after the bitter experience of the 8-year war the US had imposed in 1980 through Saddam of the repressive Ba’th minority regime of Baghdad.

Today, Iran has mastered the sophisticated technology of building almost all sorts of armaments, including warships, submarines, jet fighters, drones, tanks, armoured vehicles, heavy artillery, ballistic missiles, and electronic warfare.

As Tehran continues to display during the current Ten-Day-Dawn celebrations marking the 1979 victory of the Islamic Revolution, the latest products in military hardware, the US, which with its stockpile of doomsday weapons is without the least doubt the incarnation of Lucifer, is indulging in wild accusations against Iran as if Iran is a danger to regional and international peace. 

Nothing could be far from the truth. Iran has never threatened its neighbours, let alone invaded them – at least for the past two-and-a-half centuries.

This is the reason the West, especially the US, is angry with the Islamic system of government in Iran. 

Today, as part of its enmity towards Iran and Islam, the US is openly supporting the MKO terrorists, whose victims are 17,000 Iranians, while cowardly backing the the Saudis, Emiratis, and other Wahhabi extremists. It had been arming Daesh. It already destroyed almost every socially oriented nation in the Muslim world, from Yemen to Syria, from Egypt to Indonesia.

No wonder, independent-minded and proud Iran which is now at the very top of the American Empire’s hit list, needs the most sophisticated means of defence. 

Iran is also standing by Syria and it is supportive of Lebanon’s legendry anti-terrorist movement, the Hezbollah, which is locked in a dogfight with Daesh, and it fights Israel whenever the Zionist regime tries to invade Lebanon. 

Thus, in view of these facts, Iran which is frustrating some of the most outrageous colonialist plans of both North America and Europe, needs strong defence.

To sum up, the Islamic Republic has every right to develop, test and manufacture defence requirements, including ballistic missiles and other means of sophisticated defence.
