Rouhani's delusional remarks on sovereignty, superpowers

ILNA: President Hassan Rouhani said on Wednesday that no superpower can harm national sovereignty and independence of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

He made the remarks in a meeting with rank and file of the armed forces after inspecting the Navy hardware exhibit including Jamaran destroyer.

President Rouhani said we should be thankful to the founder of the Islamic Republic the late Imam Khomeini for the glorious national sovereignty and independence.

‘We should pray to God to bestow peace upon souls of all the martyrs of the sacred defense US-backed Iraqi imposed war on Iran 1980-1988, especially the martyrs of the armed forces.’

Pointing to the efforts to spread Iranophobia in the region, Rouhani stressed that Iranian Armed Forces are not after aggression against any other country, and reiterated that Iran alongside regional countries can defend the region.

He further underscored that the power and capabilities of Iranian Armed Forces are a source of tranquility, confidence, and security not only for the Iranian people, but also for the regional nations.

Iran and several regional countries have repeatedly stressed that foreign forces should not interfere in the affairs of the region.

Among others, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi had earlier announced that his country does not need foreign troops in the battle against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) terrorist group, and Iraq is completely capable of defeating ISIL terrorists.
