Ayatollah Khamenei considered the Intensification of Armed Forces' readiness as a factor in deterring, terrifying the enemies and asserted: The Islamic Republic does not intend to start a war with anyone; however, you need to strengthen your abilities so much so that not only the enemy will fear attacking Iran, but – as a result of unity, might and effective presence of the armed forces in the field—the shadow of intimidation and threats will also go away from the Iranian nation.
