Iran will strongly confront possible attacks: IRGC cmdr.


The commander of the Aerospace Division of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says the Islamic Republic will strongly confront any possible assault against the country.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran has no interest in wars with other countries, but we will strongly confront the enemies’ possible aggression and will give them a response that will make them regret the aggression,” Brigadier General Amir-Ali Hajizadeh said in a meeting with foreign military attaches in Tehran on Sunday.

He added that threats, sanctions and pressure are “scenarios” adopted by the West against the Iranian nation over the past 33 years, ISNA reported.

“Such pressure and threats have always resulted in opposite consequences and led to the enhancement of the country’s preparedness and capabilities,” he pointed out.

The Iranian commander emphasized that the bases of trans-regional powers in Iran’s neighboring states were previously considered as threats but now they are regarded as “opportunities.”

Hajizadeh stressed that all the West’s plots against the Iranian people are doomed to failure and reiterated that the Islamic Republic is capable of turning all threats into opportunities.

The Great Satan United States and Slaughterer Zionist Israel have repeatedly threatened Iran with a military option in an attempt to force the Islamic Republic to halt its nuclear energy program, which Washington and Tel Aviv claim has a military component.

Iran rejects the allegations, arguing that as a committed signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), it has the right to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
