Commander of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbia Air Defense Base Lieutenant General Farzad Esmaeili highlighted the effectiveness of Iran’s integrated air defense network and said the Islamic Republic’s airspace is the most secure in the region.
In a statement issued on Tuesday on the anniversary of the establishment of the base, Esmaeili lauded air defense forces’ efforts and achievements, Tasnim News Agency reported.
Since the establishment of the base 10 years ago, the forces have managed to “cross the boundaries of cutting edge technology by using domestic capabilities and knowledge”, he said.
Esmaeili noted that the forces have enhanced the country’s defense power in a way that requests for permission for using the Iranian airspace, which is the most secure in the region, have increased dramatically.
