Iranian Commander Warns of Shattering Blow to Aggressors


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A ranking Iranian Army commander warned the enemies that any act of aggression against the Islamic Republic will draw a harsh response that would make them regret their move.

In an interview with Tasnim during a visit to Arak, Deputy Chief of Iran's Army for Coordination Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari said Iran’s response to aggression and invasion will be severe.

“The enemy knows that whenever it wants to take an act of aggression against us, it will definitely receive a heavy blow,” he said.

The commander reiterated that Iran’s response to hostile measures will be “firm, tough and (one that makes the enemies regret their move).”

Iranian military and political officials have repeatedly warned the enemies against the dire consequences of a military action against the Islamic Republic.

In comments in April 2018, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said the US is aware of the crushing response it will have to face in case of taking military action against Iran.

The era of hit and run is now over, and the US knows that if it gets entangled in military action against Iran, it will receive much harsher blows, Ayatollah Khamenei underlined.

The US is seeking a way to evade the costs of standing against Iran and place them on regional countries, the Leader said, reminding certain regional countries that if they confront Iran, “they will definitely suffer blows and defeat”.
