Iranian Forces should increase their power as much as they can, Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said during a graduation ceremony for Iranian cadets, Sputnik News reports.
"Increase your power as much as you can, because your power scares off the enemy and forces it to retreat," Khamenei said.
This echoes previous statements by Iranian military officials, who had announced that Tehran would increase ballistic and cruise missile capacity and acquire new military equipment in order to boost the security of the Islamic Republic.
