TEHRAN (ISNA)- Deputy Defense Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami said here on Tuesday that Iran's defense industry has frustrated the enemies' hope for any military strike.

Addressing a group of defense ministry's managers and staff, Hatami said amid vast sanctions imposed against Iran defense industries, the Iranian youth managed to frustrate enemies.

He reiterated that during the past 37 years, the enemies have done their best to put Iran in danger and make the country's economy collapse.

In recent years, Iran has made major breakthroughs in its defense sector and has attained self-sufficiency in producing important military equipment and systems.

The Islamic Republic has repeatedly said that its military might poses no threat on other countries, reiterating that its defense doctrine is merely based on deterrence
