Admiral Sayyari: National Security Depends on Strengthening Deterrence
WANA (Oct 30) – Admiral Habibollah Sayyari, the Deputy Coordinator of the Islamic Republic’s Army, emphasized that the nation’s security can only be achieved through strong deterrence capabilities, stating, “No one should dare to threaten our Islamic homeland.” He underscored the importance of focusing on national power elements to attain this deterrence.
Sayyari pointed out that enhancing the armed forces’ military capabilities is crucial for national security. However, he also stressed the need to address economic, political, cultural, and diplomatic issues, asserting, “By growing and developing in all these areas, we can achieve deterrence against our enemies.”
He reiterated that maintaining national dignity and prosperity hinges on strong deterrence, which is essential for ensuring internal security and safeguarding borders. “Our enemies have never been silent; they continually seek opportunities to strike us,” he noted.
Discussing recent escalations in violence, Sayyari condemned the Israeli regime’s actions in Gaza and southern Lebanon, stating that over 43,000 innocent lives, including many women and children, have been lost in the past year, all while international powers remain silent. He questioned, “What response can the international community and human rights organizations provide to these crimes?”

Sayyari detailed that after Operation True Promise 2, Israeli and allied forces, including American, British, and French aircraft, maintained a continuous presence in Iraqi airspace for 25 days, seeking opportunities for action against Iran. However, he stated, “They knew we were alert and vigilant.”
Although these forces eventually attempted an offensive on October 26, Sayyari reported they were unable to penetrate Iranian airspace, with Iranian defenses intercepting multiple ballistic missiles fired from 100 kilometers away.
Reflecting on the recent confrontation, he drew a parallel with Iran’s experiences in the Iran-Iraq War, noting, “Once again, history repeated itself, and, despite their support from global powers, the enemy’s latest act of aggression ended in failure.”
