Iran alerts Israel on National Army Day

President Ebrahim Raisi has warned Israel for  making even “the smallest movement” against Iran. The statement appeared on  Monday as the Iranian military displayed homegrown weapons and defense systems celebrating  National Army Day.

A huge  televised parade was managed on the occasion in the capital, Tehran, which was attended by Raisi and Iranian military officials.

“Our message to the Zionist regime is that in case you are after normalizing relations with some international regions , you have to realize that not even your smallest actions are hidden from our intelligence, security and army,” Raisi said  in reference  with Israel.

“And you must be aware  that if you make even  the smallest movement against the Iranian nation, the finals of our armed forces will be the center of the Zionist regime,” Raisi said .

Iran fired missiles previous  month at a site in Erbil, the capital of northern Iraq’s autonomous Kurdish region. Tehran said  that the site was being used by Israel, in spite  of  denials from the governor of Erbil.

referencing to United States, Raisi acknowledged  US State Department spokesman Ned Price that former President Donald Trump’s so-called “maximum pressure” campaign of harsh sanction opposition of  Iran had failed to reach  its goal of defeat the country.

“This is the believe  of those who wish to be hostile to the holy establishment of the Islamic Republic,” Raisi said.

Raisi’s  announcement  come as oblique negotiations with America to uplift sanctions and update the country’s 2015 nuclear deal have stalled for weeks.

“We have no agreement in hand to comment on,” said Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman, Saeed Khatibzadeh, on Monday.

The final important last sticking point within the negotiations seems to be over lifting the US “overseas terrorist organization” designation on Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

After Raisi’s speech, a sequence of missiles, launch structures, drones, tanks and other military motors were displayed.

They included the surface-to-floor Fath-360 missile, the medium-variety Majid missile defense system, and the Dezful, the Iranian model of the Russian Tor missile launch system. More than a dozen sorts of unmanned aerial cars (UAVs) had been also displayed.

“We have now passed the era when our vehicles would be grounded due to a lack of parts,” Ghorbani said, adding that work to make  the first Iranian-made helicopters had made “significant progress” and hopefully  completed in the  future.
