TEHRAN (Iran News) Chairman of the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi says the Islamic Republic responded decisively and resolutely to the U.S.-Israeli war of aggression.

General Mousavi made the remarks in a phone call with Qatar’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of State for Defense Affairs Khalid bin Mohammad Al Attiyah on Tuesday.

He emphasized that the Iranian Armed Forces resisted bullying and aggression with all their might, saying the 12-day imposed war proved the legitimacy of the Islamic Republic.

All Muslim governments and freedom-loving people firmly supported Iran’s positions, which he said proved “the non-adherence to any international principles or norms by the the United States and the Zionist regime.”

The top commander continued by pointing out that Washington did not spare any assistance to Israel and provided full intelligence and logistical support to the regime against Iranian retaliatory missile and drone attacks.

He also thanked the government of Qatar for condemning the aggressors, and being one among the countries that have firmly supported the struggles of the oppressed people of Palestine.

The Qatari minister, for his part, expressed his condolences for the martyrdom of Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri.

The State of Qatar condemned Israel’s aggression against Iran from the very beginning and announced that Doha would not allow its airspace and territory to be used against Iran, Khalid Al Attiyah said.

According To Iran News, Iranian Army Commander Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi praised the country’s military forces for acting like an iron dam protecting people against the enemies.

In an address to a health service parade marking the Army Day and the Ground Force Day in Tehran on Friday, Major General Mousavi assured the Iranian nation that the Armed Forces will keep protecting them like a “sympathetic brother”.

The Iranian Armed Forces are an iron dam in the face of the adversaries, the top commander emphasized.

No Army in the world enjoys popular support like in Iran, he underlined, saying the Army forces will stand by the nation amid the outbreak of the novel coronavirus and will “dedicate their lives” to protection of the Iranian nation.

Paying tribute to all units serving in the Army Ground Force, the Air Force, the Air Defense and the Navy, Major General Mousavi said more than 11,000 forces from the Army medical division have rushed to help the Health Ministry personnel in the efforts to contain the coronavirus epidemic.

This year, the Army decided to carry out an alternative plan for military parades to prevent any gathering of people in order to contain the spread of the coronavirus and help the medical staff in the battle with COVID-19.

The Iranian Armed Forces set up a Biodefense Headquarters after the outbreak of coronavirus in Iran and have offered extensive services to treat the patients.
