Iranian Commander Warns of Iran’s Lethal Response to Enemies

(FNA)- Iranian Ground Force Commander Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan underlined that his forces will give a deadly response to the slightest aggressions by the enemies.

"Today, the Islamic Republic of Iran's Ground Force is ready to confront any military aggression against the Islamic Republic and its independence, territorial integrity and interests," Pourdastan said, addressing the Ground Force rank and file in Tehran on Monday.

He stressed that Iran doesn’t intend to make an aggression against any other country, "but if a country dares to put into action its illusion of aggression against Iran, our response will be more lethal than its initial strike."

Pourdastan also reiterated that the country's borders, specially in the West, have been sealed against the traffic of terrorist groups and outlaws, adding that the Iranian forces would never allow the enemies to cross the borders for an aggression against the country.

In relevant remarks last Wednesday, Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said Iran was unmoved by enemies' war rhetoric due to its astonishing deterrent power, and specially because it had foreseen proper response for all possible scenarios.

He referred to Iran's deterrence power and defensive capabilities to confront enemies' threats, and said, "We have grown so much powerful that we don't feel concerned about the enemy's unwise attitude. We can go past any enemy scenario, and this has been proved in our contemporary history."

Stressing that Iran would defuse any enemy plots and scenario, whether military threats or sanctions, Jafari said, "The US should find a way to survive and continue its endangered life, but we are surprised at the enemy's insistence on costly and useless scenarios."

He underscored that Iran's strategies are strong and decisive.

The country had blocked enemies' path to its cruel plots, he said, adding that Iran had a wide array of options and was capable of using these different options more than ever.
