Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh, addressing attendees in Tehran on Tuesday, stressed the unwavering commitment of the nation’s youth to protect their homeland, asserting their determination not to let adversaries lay claim to the sacred territory.
According to an official statement, adversaries have continually attempted to sow division and discord within Iranian society. Nevertheless, the official expressed confidence in the awareness and intelligence of Iran’s young military personnel, asserting that their vigilance would ensure the preservation of unity and brotherhood in the nation.
In a resolute declaration, he assured the distinguished Iranian nation, as well as esteemed military commanders and devoted statesmen, that they can remain confident in the bravery and resolve displayed by their soldiers. He emphasized that there is no room for fear of the enemy or a retreat from their foundational principles and ideals.
**”A Resolute Generation”**
Nasirzadeh emphasized that Iran, driven by the determination of its youth, continued to transform challenges into opportunities while breaking down the notion of enemy dominance.
In a statement, he praised the courage and dedication of these young individuals, highlighting their role in defending both the nation’s territory and its cultural and moral principles.

Surmounting Sanctions and Hurdles
The defense minister commended the significant contributions made by Iran’s young scientists in advancing the nation, highlighting their vital role in surmounting economic and technological hurdles.
The path to success, despite the barriers posed by sanctions and threats, is deemed attainable with the support of intellectual prowess, according to Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution.
**’Strategic Cognitive and Perceptual Conflict’**
In a modern twist on traditional warfare, conflicts now extend into the realm of the mind, where strategic efforts are increasingly focused on influencing and controlling perceptions and cognitive processes. This evolving landscape of engagement underscores the importance of psychological tactics and perceptual manipulation in achieving objectives, marking a sophisticated approach to warfare that parallels developments in technology and information dissemination.
In his address, the minister emphasized the critical significance of cognitive and perceptual warfare, noting that the young population of the Islamic Republic is poised to play a pivotal role in this strategic arena.
He stated that with the presence of such perceptive young individuals, overcoming adversaries in cognitive and perceptual conflicts is as foreseeable as achieving victory in traditional warfare.
A ceremony dedicated to honoring and outlining strategic frameworks for the nation’s young servicemen was attended by a number of senior Iranian military officials. Among those present were Major General Mohammad Bagheri, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri, Navy Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), and Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi, the IRGC’s Deputy Commander.
