Deputy Top Commander to Netanyahu: Iran to Give Crushing Response to Aggressors

Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Massoud Jazzayeri rapped Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his anti-Iran remarks at the US Congress, and said the country’s Armed Forces will give a crushing response to any possible aggression by enemies.
“Our enemies have also understood that despite all sanctions and problems that they have created, the Islamic Republic enjoys such capabilities that it is able not only to confront any attack, but also to confront the aggressor with a fully forceful response which will make the aggressor regret,” Jazzayeri said in an interview with Defa’ press news website on Saturday.

Stressing that despite all problems created by the arrogant powers for Iran, people across the world support the country and the Islamic Revolution, he said, “No one can prevent our Revolution and the Islamic Republic’s progress and we hope to witness establishment of global justice in the near future by the further spread of the Islamic Revolution’s domain of influence.”

His comments came after Netanyahu’s controversial anti-Iran speech at the US Congress on Tuesday night during which he threatened to take action against Iran’s peaceful nuclear program.

In relevant remarks on Wednesday, Iran’s Judiciary Chief Sadeq Amoli Larijani condemned Netanyahu’s remarks at the US Congress, and said Tehran would give a crushing and lethal response to any Israeli aggression if Tel Aviv ever dared to embark on military action against Tehran.

“The time of threats is over and the Iranian nation doesn’t fear such threats. The Iranian Armed Forces’ reaction to any aggression will be so strong that it will leave no chance for the regime to continue its life,” Amoli Larijani said, addressing high-ranking Judiciary officials in a weekly meeting in Tehran.

“At present, all people know that no important issue can be settled in the region without the Islamic Republic of Iran’s partnership and companionship,” he said.

Amoli Larijani pointed to Netanyahu’s remarks, and said, “How stupid the prime minister of the child-killer (Israeli) regime should be to think that the Iranian nation would give up its rights under threats.”

He described the Iranian nation’s rights as the country’s unchangeable redline, and said Iran can continue progress despite sanctions, adding that even western leaders such as US President Barack Obama have also admitted that sanctions and pressures have not been effective in preventing Iran’s progress.
