Iran’s state news agency IRNA quoted Brig. Gen. Hossein Dehghan addressing a High Administrative Meeting of the province during a visit to southwestern province of Lorestan and the province’s defense industries; “any vindication of the rights of people hinges upon the protecting its esteem and national honor; and if this is achieved, a more favorable atmosphere will be created for Iran in its relations with the world,” said Dehghan to the meeting.
