Tehran– Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri said that Iran will strongly cut off hands of intruders pointing at the country’s missile capabilities.
The country’s diplomatic apparatus should take timely and decisive stands in dealing with the cheekiness of the US officials, he said.
‘Once again I reiterate that Iran’s missile might is non-negotiable and is regarded as the country’s red line and any hands to be stretched to its defense capability will be cut off,’ he said.
The Islamic Republic of Iran pursues its deterrent doctrine and never let arrogant powers or aliens to interfere in this regard, Jazayeri said.
Iranian people have proven that they never hesitate to cut off hands of invaders, he said.
Americans avoid to listen to nation’s righteous demands and mind to pursue bullying policies in dealing with independent and free nations, Jazayeri said.
Iran never seeks permission from anyone to develop its defense capabilities, he said.
Despite the clear stands adopted by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, it seems the Americans still seek to weaken the might of Iran’s missiles, he said.
Iranian nation was the victim of US aggression and its regional allies and is to exercise vigilance in dealing with such conspiracies, he said.
‘The Americans are now miscalculating Iran and I do advise them to watch global developments realistically, mainly those in Iran as well as the region, and bear in mind that nations are now trampling upon their so-called undisputed powers,’ he said.
The Americans should take lessons from their mistakes in recent decades and act with caution, he advised them.
Iran’s diplomatic apparatus should take timely and decisive stands in dealing with the impudence of the Americans, Jazayeri said.
