Iran's Military Parade Displays Latest Weaponry and Technology.
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi reiterated threats against Israel during the country's annual Army Day celebration, while also demanding the US leave the Middle East. However, he offered an olive branch to regional nations and avoided criticizing Saudi Arabia as Tehran seeks to improve relations with the kingdom. The day celebrates Iran's regular military, not its paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, which operates across the wider Middle East and aids Iranian-allied militia groups.
