Enemy Can Ill Afford Confrontation with Iran
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The enemies cannot afford to take military action against Iran because they will have to suffer a strategic defeat if they dare to test the Islamic Republic’s power, Commander of the Khatam al-Anbia Headquarters Major General Gholam Ali Rashid said.
In comments at a military gathering on Tuesday, Major General Rashid advised the enemies not to test Iran’s power and determination “because they definitely could not afford the costs of extensive and comprehensive confrontation (with Iran).”
Therefore, the enemy had better confirm the Islamic Republic’s power in order to incur lower costs, he added.
He also hailed the IRGC for its recent war game in southern Iran, saying the Armed Forces hold annual drills, monitor the enemies constantly, and are prepared to impose costs on the enemy heavier than it what it may achieve.
Iran will turn the enemy’s minor and tactical success into a strategic defeat by choosing the right time and place and adopting the appropriate tools and unexpected methods, the general noted.
In comments in April, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri said all Iranian military forces are ready to give a decisive and crushing response to any threat at any level in such a way that the enemies of Iran would regret taking a hostile action against the Islamic establishment.
