War on Iran will cause enemies irreparable damage: Defense min.

Iran’s defense minister has warned the enemies that any act of aggression against the Islamic Republic will cost them “irreparable” consequences.

“Any move [against Iran]…for military purposes and mistreatment of Iran will bring irreparable damages on the arrogant [powers],” Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi said on Tuesday.

He downplayed war threats against Iran, arguing that the enemies are aware of the country’s defense capabilities and readiness to ward off any invaders.

“The enemies of the Islamic Republic of Iran are well aware of [its] deterrent capabilities and the consequences of military strikes against the country, and know about the preparedness of the Iranian Armed Forces,” he stated.

The Iranian commander’s remarks follow frequent threats by the Israeli regime about a military strike on the Iranian nuclear sites.

Tel Aviv claims that the Islamic Republic’s nuclear energy program has been diverted toward military purposes, but Iran has strongly rejected the allegation with its top military officials warning that any military action could result in a war that would spread beyond the Middle East.

In recent years, the country has made great achievements in military industry and attained self-sufficiency in essential military equipment and systems.

The Islamic Republic has repeatedly stated that its military might poses no threat to other countries, reiterating that its defense doctrine is based on deterrence.
