During a parade in Tehran dedicated to Army Day, President of Iran Ebrahim Raisi issued a warning to the Zionist administration, stating that any encroachment on their territory would be met with tough opposition. Raisi emphasized the role of Iran’s armed forces, including the army and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, as the guarantors of security in the region.

Calling on neighboring states to rely on their own Muslim forces rather than establishing relations with Israel, Raisi advised against aligning with what he referred to as the “loser.” The Iranian president highlighted the importance of unity among Muslim forces and emphasized the strength and pride that these forces bring to the region. By choosing to support their own forces and those of fellow Muslim nations, Raisi suggested that security and stability could be maintained without aligning with the Zionist regime.
