Iranian commander claims greater combat experience than Russia

Iranian Army Chief Amir Hatami has asserted that Iran possesses greater combat experience than Russia, highlighting the country’s high level of military readiness and vigilance in the region.

“Today, we are at a high level of combat and defensive readiness and are observing the movements of the enemy in the region. Since we are aware of their malicious intentions, our finger is on the trigger,” Hatami said, Tasnim News Agency reports.

He further claimed that even Russia, which has been engaged in conflicts with NATO for more than three years, does not match Iran’s operational experience. “Even Russia, which has been in conflict with NATO for more than three years, does not have our 12-day experience,” he stated.

The comments follow earlier warnings from Iran’s Foreign Minister, who pledged a “powerful response” to any aggression, vowing that Tehran would react “like never before.”
