Iran’s response to any attack devastating: Cmdr.

A senior Iranian military commander has warned the enemies of a devastating response in case of a military attack against the Islamic Republic.

Speaking on the sidelines of a ceremony commemorating the National Army Day in Tehran on Tuesday, Commander of the Iranian Army’s Ground Forces Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan stressed that Iran’s Armed Forces will vehemently confront threats and vigorously defend the country in case of military aggression against the Islamic Republic.

He also vowed that Iran will retaliate against any country, whose territory is used by the enemies for hostile operations against Iran as such countries are considered “enemy ground.”

The senior Iranian commander stressed that Iran’s Armed Forces are fully prepared to deter any act of aggression. He noted that the enemies are in no position to wage war on Iran as they are grappling with numerous domestic woes.

Brigadier General Pourdastan highlighted that Iran is fully aware of its foes’ abilities and weak points and can proportionately respond to threats anytime.

Washington and Tel Aviv have at times threatened Tehran with a military strike against its civilian nuclear facilities.

On March 20, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei emphasized that the Iranian nation will respond proportionally to any potential threat against its soil by the US or the Zionist regime (Israel).

“We do not possess a nuclear weapon and we will never build one, but we will defend ourselves against any aggression, whether by the US or the Zionist regime, proportionally,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.

On March 15, Iran’s Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi said despite Tel Aviv’s escalating war rhetoric against Iran, the Israeli regime is too small to survive even one week of real war.

“First of all, we take every little threat serious even if it comes from the weakest country in the world,” he said in an interview with Danish television channel TV2.

Salehi added that Iran does not consider Israeli claims or threats as real ones.
