The skies over Iran are currently safer for all flights than ever before, Iranian Army Commander Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi said on Tuesday, APA reports citing TASS.

"The Iranian sky is safer for all flight than at any other point in time," he said. Mousavi also noted that the Iranian leadership should call for "coordination of the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps - TASS) and other armed forces to ensure accuracy of the air defense system."

The army commander is also certain that "the human error that led to the Ukrainian plane crash last week will not undermine outstanding achievements of the IRGC." Mousavi offered condolences to families of the Boeing 737 crash victims, saying, "The recent air disaster that caused deaths of our dear compatriots was bitter and sad and had a profound effect on the security and armed forces of the country." At the same time, he pointed out that the "tragedy occurred during the crisis provoked by American adventurism."
