Iran's Army Commander-in-Chief Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi has revealed details about Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir's recent visit to Tehran. Speaking at a ceremony, Mousavi responded to claims that the Iranian Air Force has been destroyed by boasting about its operational capabilities. He specifically described how Iranian jets escorted Munir's aircraft with twice the number of planes that Pakistan had requested for the escort mission. The statement appears to be a direct rebuttal to suggestions that Iran's air force has been significantly degraded.
