Akraminiya: The control of the west of the Strait of Hormuz is with the IRGC and the east is with the army

The spokesman of the army said: the safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz requires coordination with the Iranian armed forces.

According to Ambassador Arjan, Amir Mohammad Akrami Nia, the spokesman of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army, in an interview, pointing out that the country's defense cover has been strengthened, stated: The country's defense cover has been greatly strengthened compared to the days of the war and before that. We have also introduced new equipment to the combat organization.

The spokesman of the army reminded: I firmly say that we have reached a higher defense power compared to the Ramadan war; Also, we have shot down several American drones in recent weeks; New operational and equipment plans have been prepared and implemented by our defense force under the defense headquarters.

Amir Akrami Nia also pointed out that defense points have been strengthened and emphasized: Combined and innovative operations have been practiced and we have greatly strengthened the defense coverage in the country compared to the days before the war.

Referring to the escape of the American warships from the region, the spokesman of the army said: American warships are more than 500 kilometers away from the shores of the Persian Gulf, and with the operational plans we are implementing, they will be forced to flee to more distant areas in the coming days.

In another part of his speech, referring to the inspiration of the Islamic Revolution, Amir Akrami Nia stated: The Islamic Revolution of Iran is essentially a cultural revolution, and the system of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which emerged from this revolution, also has a cultural nature. Accordingly, all the pillars, institutions and institutions of the Islamic Republic of Iran must have a cultural identity and nature.

He added: After the victory of the Islamic Revolution, it was necessary for the Islamic Republic of Iran Army to have a structure to deal with cultural, religious and spiritual affairs in accordance with the cultural nature of the Islamic system. Therefore, with the deep, strategic and forward-looking vision of the great founder of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini (RA), a political ideological institution was established in the army to take responsibility for handling the cultural and religious affairs of the employees.

The spokesman of the army stated that after nearly five decades since the establishment of this institution, the works and results of its activities have been clearly visible, and stated: The performance of the political ideological organization of the army over the past years has shown that this institution has been able to play an effective role in strengthening the Islamic and cultural identity of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army.

Referring to the American conspiracies against the Islamic Republic of Iran after the victory of the Islamic Revolution, Akraminya said: After failing to prevent the victory of the Islamic Revolution, the Americans started various conspiracies against the country and the armed forces, especially the Islamic Republic of Iran Army, which was part of these actions in the political and cultural fields.

He continued: These actions were followed in the form of cultural invasion, and the leaders of the Islamic Revolution also warned about its dimensions with expressions such as cultural hypocrisy and cultural NATO. This fact shows that in an important organization like the army, which is responsible for maintaining the independence, territorial integrity and system of the Islamic Republic of Iran, protecting the employees against the widespread cultural invasion of the enemy is a basic necessity.

The spokesman of the army emphasized: Strengthening faith and religious beliefs and creating a spiritual atmosphere in a military organization can increase the resilience of employees in difficult situations, especially during war.

He added: "The mission of the army and other armed forces is very difficult in war conditions, and sometimes there are situations where only faith, religious beliefs, and the spiritual atmosphere governing the units can ensure the stability of employees, maintain organizational cohesion, and continue resistance against the enemy."

Referring to the experiences of the eight-year Holy Defense, Akraminya stated: During the Holy Defense, the role of the ideological and political institution in improving the cultural status of the army, providing ideological and political training and strengthening the religious beliefs of the employees was clearly demonstrated.

He added: The cultural, intellectual and spiritual atmosphere ruling the fronts was one of the main factors of the stability and resistance of the fighters of Islam, which ultimately led to victory.

The spokesman of the army continued: In recent decades, the political ideological organization has also tried to improve the cultural and intellectual level of the army employees and their families, to provide immunity against the widespread cultural attacks of the enemy, so that the army can perform its main missions in the best way.

Stating that this organization has succeeded in achieving its goals to a considerable extent, he said: If the political ideological institution had not been able to play a constructive and effective role in the army, today we would not have witnessed such a level of resistance and stability among the army employees.

Akraminia stated: The fact that the Islamic Republic of Iran Army is known today with two prominent indicators of being Islamic and popular indicates the effective functioning of the political ideological institution in this organization.

Referring to the presence of army forces in the fields of relief and public assistance, the spokesman of the army said: In addition to its essential and main missions specified in the constitution, the army of the Islamic Republic of Iran has always been with the people and played a role as a life-sacrificing force in natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes.

He added: In many natural disasters, the army forces have been among the first groups that have entered the field to provide relief to the people, and this issue shows the spirit of the people ruling the army.

Akraminia emphasized: Being popular is one of the basic characteristics of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army, and the ideological political organization has always tried to maintain and strengthen this spirit among the employees.

He continued: Today, the two characteristics of being Islamic and popular are quite prominent in the army of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and this group has been able to perform its missions well by relying on these components.

Referring to the dimensions of the current war against the Islamic Republic of Iran, the spokesman of the army said: In the current war, the enemy has started a combined war against the country, one of which is a military war. The next one is obvious and tangible more than other dimensions.

He added: However, the current war is not only limited to the military arena, but also has cognitive, media and cultural dimensions, and the political ideological organization of the army plays an important and effective role in dealing with these dimensions.

Stating that different aspects of hybrid warfare are directly related to each other, Akraminya said: Soft war can be a prelude to hard war, and the enemy pursues wider goals by targeting religious teachings, intellectual and cultural beliefs, and the beliefs of armed forces personnel.

He emphasized: Therefore, the role of political ideological organization in protecting religious beliefs and strengthening the spirit of resistance of employees is a fundamental and decisive role.

Referring to the standing of army personnel in the current war, the spokesman of the army said: "Today, we are witnessing that the army personnel of the Islamic Republic of Iran are standing with all their strength to defend the nation, the people and the Islamic system."

He added: For example, the pilots of the Army Air Force carried out this mission knowing the difficulty of the operation to attack the Boehring base in Kuwait. Such an action is based on their faith, beliefs and spirit of self-sacrifice for the Iranian nation.

Akraminya continued: In other army forces, despite the serious dangers, the employees are still present next to their systems and equipment and defend the country.

They continue to stand and resist when they witness the martyrdom or injury of some of their colleagues and comrades and observe the enemy's crimes closely.

He clarified: This level of resistance and stability is not possible without faith, religious beliefs and the spiritual atmosphere governing the army units.

Emphasizing that spirituality is one of the aspects of distinguishing the Islamic Republic of Iran Army from other armies in the world, the spokesman of the army said: The faith and religious beliefs of the employees have become an important comparative advantage for the Islamic Republic of Iran Army.

He added: The Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran has used this capacity in various fields, from defending the country to helping the people.

Akraminia continued: Today, the army of the Islamic Republic of Iran stands alongside other armed forces against the enemy, which is armed to the teeth and has the latest military technologies, equipment and weapons, but our employees, relying on faith, religious beliefs and love and affection for the nation and the Islamic system, have been able to resist and not allow the enemy to achieve its sinister goals.

He emphasized: These achievements show the effective role of the political ideological organization of the army in strengthening the spirit of resistance and stability of the employees.

The spokesman of the army pointed out: Of course, activity in the cultural and religious sphere is of a qualitative and relative nature, and it is necessary to make more efforts every day to strengthen religious beliefs and expand the spiritual atmosphere in the army and other armed forces.

Referring to the role of the political ideological organization of the army in raising the awareness of the employees, Akraminya said: this organization has taken extensive measures to improve the political and religious awareness of the employees by forming various networks of clerics and political leaders, holding numerous meetings, publishing political publications and implementing cultural and educational programs at the level of the units.

He added: Ideological and political training is very important, especially for conscripts who make up a large part of the army, and these trainings start from the moment they enter the units and continue until the last day of service and the time of discharge.

The spokesman of the army stated that these measures were effective in creating a cultural and spiritual atmosphere in the army units and clarified: Today, the army of the Islamic Republic of Iran is known as a spiritualist, Islamic army, loyal to the system and the nation and ready to sacrifice.

In another part of this conversation, the spokesman of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army stated, referring to the US President's claims about the destruction of Iran's defense capabilities, that the US President has repeatedly claimed that they have completely destroyed Iran's Air Defense Force, Air Force and Navy; But the facts of the field show the opposite of these claims.

He added: "The fact that several American drones have been shot down in the country's sky by the defense forces in recent weeks shows that the air defense of the Islamic Republic of Iran continues to operate with strength and has a high operational capacity."

Emphasizing on the continuity of operational and defense activities of the armed forces, Akraminya stated: contrary to the claims of the American president, the defense power of the country has not only not been lost, but extensive measures have been taken to strengthen and improve it.
