TEHRAN – The Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) is at the “peak of its power”, IRIAF chief Aziz Nasirzadeh has said, rejecting rumors that the Air Force’s military hardware and equipment are out of date.

“We do not have anything called out-of-date fleet in the airborne fleet, but the enemy is trying to indicate that Iran’s air fleet is out of date,” Brigadier General Nasirzadeh said, IRNA reported on Monday.

He also said, “We must believe in ourselves,” adding that the Western media outlets are trying to destroy Iran’s self-esteem.
