In a message marking Aerospace Day on Thursday, Vahidi praised the personnel of the IRGC Aerospace Force for continuing Tehrani Moghaddam’s legacy through innovation, perseverance, and reliance on domestic capabilities.
“The enemy must know that the path of martyr Tehrani Moghaddam is not one that can be stopped by threats or sanctions; this path continues with blood and faith,” he said.
Vahidi recalled Tehrani Moghaddam’s pioneering role in developing Iran’s missile capabilities, saying he had built the country’s first missiles with limited resources but unwavering faith.
Addressing Aerospace Force personnel, he said they were now building the country’s strength “in the heart of mountains and deep underground.”
He also paid tribute to former IRGC Aerospace Force commanders Amir Ali Hajizadeh and Mahmoud Bagheri, as well as other fallen comrades, urging the force to continue their path.
