He also assessed as "favorable" the readiness of various components of Iran�s air defense force, adding that the units' preparedness is subjected to regular testing.
In recent years,the Islamic Republic has made great achievements in its defense sector and attained self-sufficiency in producing essential military equipment and systems.

Tehran has repeatedly assured other countries that its military might poses no threat to other states, insisting that the country�s defense doctrine is entirely based on deterrence.
