Iranian military parade
The Iranian president lauded his country's military as the most reliable force to take on "terrorists in the region," a reference to the extremist Islamic State group, in a speech during an annual military parade on September 22, 2015.
Hassan Rouhani offered military assistance to Mideast countries, saying that so far, Iranian troops "have helped both Iraq and Syria" in the struggle against IS but insisted that Tehran has no military intentions toward other nations.
The parade marked the 35th anniversary of the start of the ruinous, eight-year Iraq-Iran war.
