Speaking in the Islamic Consultative Assembly to present his plans for running the ministry, the proposed minister of defense and armed forces support said: “For the past two weeks I met with military commanders and noted their expectations, and I have reached the conclusion that, with God's grace and trust in the Almighty, it is possible to carry out these missions in the Ministry of Defense.”

The proposed minister of defense and support of the armed forces presented his plans for the administration of this ministry at the meeting of the Islamic Council and said: "Last two weeks, I reached the service of the military commanders and wrote down their expectations, and I came to the conclusion that with the grace and trust in the Almighty God, it is possible to carry out these missions in the Ministry of Defense.

According to the report of Ambassador Arjan Mehrdad Akhlik, the proposed candidate for the Ministry of Defense and Support of the Armed Forces in a special meeting today (Monday, October 20), while honoring the memory of our martyred leader and other martyrs, while explaining his records, actions and performance in the past years, he said: "I was never interested in taking responsibility during my service, and I will take on the proposed responsibility that was communicated to me and I will do it with all my strength if recognized and approved by the members of the parliament."

According to Khane Mellat, he added: "In order to make sure that I have the ability to carry out this mission, in the last two weeks I reached the service of the military commanders and wrote down their expectations, and I came to the conclusion that with the grace and trust in the Almighty God, it is possible to carry out these missions in the Ministry of Defense and I can also take on a part of this responsibility in this ministry."

Akhli stated: Obviously, one person cannot do anything alone, but if he leads a revolutionary and jihadist group and has experience in this direction, he will most likely achieve his goals.

In another part of his speech, the proposed minister of defense also mentioned the priority of building housing for the armed forces employees and stated: One of my priorities as the minister of defense is to follow up on the construction of housing for the armed forces. This year, in the program of the armed forces, the issue of handing over 100,000 residential units has been raised.

Referring to the country's air defense situation, he said: We are seriously pursuing the issue of strengthening the air defense through the General Staff of the Armed Forces and tracking the allocation of budgets, and we hope that more attention will be paid to this area in this period.
