According to Iran's official news agency IRNA, the discussion focused on Iran's reaction options in the event of potential threats.
The committee's spokesman, Abolfazl Amouei, provided some facts about the meeting. According to him, the meeting was also attended by the chief of the Army's intelligence section and the deputy commander of the Army for planning.
According to Amouei, the intelligence commander provided a report on the Army's assessment of potential threats to Iran and highlighted Iran's numerous response possibilities. “The commander of operations of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Army also presented a report on the operational capabilities of the army's ground, air and air defense forces,” Amouei informed IRNA.
He stated, “In the continuation of the meeting, topics related to the plan and program of the Islamic Republic Army were raised and a report was presented in this field. Our military forces are the defense and security prop-up of the country, and for this reason, strengthening the defense capabilities is one of our priorities.”
Amouei also talked about the significance of the Iranian Army’s Navy. “Navy is a strategic force for us today and the country's capability is increasing many times. The threats that exist in the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean have been repelled quickly and efficiently, and now good control has been exerted by the Navy. In a way, it has also strengthened defense diplomacy. Presence in different countries, dialogues between the navy and other countries is a significant issue. They introduced the capabilities of the country and created a basis for cooperation.”
