“Upholding the status of the popular mobilization in all dimensions, specially upholding the defense capabilities and preparedness as well as the role played by the Armed Forces to further deepen the roots of the Islamic Revolution is seriously being pursued,” Major General Baqeri added.

He reiterated that the country’s Armed Forces are proportionately following up the process of completion of intelligence, operations, logistics and commanding operations.
