“Ever increasing prestige and might of the Islamic Republic, sustainable peace and security and Islamic awakening are achievements of the Eight Year Defense,” said Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari in a commemoration service of 6,000 provincial martyrs.
“Today, thanks to the blessings of the Islamic Revolution and the blood of the martyrs, we are witnesses to the collapse of the paper tiger of the global oppression throughout the world,” he reiterated.
Major General Jafari referred to the Lebanese Hezbollah’s victory in the 33-Day War against the Zionist regime, the Gaza residents who keep defeating Israel in different engagements, and Syria’s resistance in confrontation with the terrorist forces dispatched from the entire world as some other blessings of the Sacred Defense.
