[IRNA] Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naghdi, coordination deputy of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said the enemy, having failed to achieve its military objectives, is now seeking through cognitive warfare, psychological operations and the sowing of discord among the people — particularly among Iran's ethnic groups and religious denominations — to weaken national cohesion and unity. Naghdi stressed the need to preserve national unity and solidarity, according to IRNA in a report dated Oct. 30, 2026, from Chabahar.
