Iran Holds Military Parade as 'Biggest Regional Power' Fighting Terrorism


Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said that his country's military is the "biggest regional power against terrorism". His comments came during a speech at an annual military parade in Tehran, which was broadcast live on state TV.
