Lessons Learned from War and Strengthening Capabilities
He also referred to the lessons learned from war and emphasized their importance in enhancing military capabilities. Admiral Sayyari said: "Army personnel learn from the lessons of war and today stand much more prepared than before against threats."

Consequences of Control over the Strait of Hormuz
Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz, which is considered one of the most important and strategic maritime routes in the world, can have significant impacts on global energy security. This area, as one of the most vital transit points for oil and gas in the world, can significantly affect global energy prices in the event of any tensions.
As a result, the emphasis on the control and readiness of military forces can be seen as a signal to the international community that Iran is seriously engaged in protecting its interests in this region and will not tolerate any aggression.
