Referring to the Supreme Leader's assertion that Iran needs to get stronger to avoid wars, Sayyari said Iran needs to get stronger to be able to sit with more strength at the international negotiation tables, .

The enemy should know that if they invade Iran, they will receive a crushing response which will make them repent their actions, he said.
