Iran wants to be the most powerful country in the world because the Qur’an says to do so

President Hassan Rouhani has lent weight to Iran’s defense industry, saying the country has to become strong enough so that no enemy dares to threaten it.

“We must be strong and powerful, because the Qur’an tells us that we must be so powerful to take away the courage from the enemy and those threatening us,” he told the inauguration of a defense museum in Tehran Sunday.

“This means the enemy has either to be made disappointed about achieving a success or know that if it attacks us, it will have to pay immense costs,” the president added.
