Iranian military ready to stop Daesh-like moves: Chief of staff

After the fall of the ‘self-proclaimed caliphate’ Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), also known as Daesh, Major General Mohammad Baqeri congratulated Ayatollah Khamenei in a message.

The message reads, “I congratulate the glorious and historic victory of Islamic Resistance over the self-proclaimed caliphate of the vicious and criminal group to Your Majesty, Muslims, all the defenders of the holy shrines, and the honorable General Qasem Soleimani.”

He also said that the Iranian military will go on with equipping itself with smart defensive weaponry and create new capacities to defend the country.

Although the fall of Daesh manifests the fall of “the ominous dominance of the US and its regional and non-regional allies”, Your Majesty’s letter to General Soleimani depicts the necessity to be fully vigilant about the enemy as an assignment and priority for the Iranian military, said the message.

“Most certainly, the wounded enemy that has been targeting the existence of the Islamic Revolution and the Islamic identity will not remain silent and motionless, and will continue its warmongering and plot-hatching against us; but their attempts are doomed to failure,” said General Baqaeri.

He hailed all the Iranian, Iraqi, Syrian, Pakistani and Afghan individuals, volunteers and military bodies that played a role in the phenomenal triumph.
