Iran to Determine Where to Hit Aggressors, Says Baqeri
Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri says it is up to the Islamic Republic to decide the targets of its counterstrikes against potential aggressors.
According to Press TV, Baqeri on Monday warned Iran’s enemies against “any mistakes in calculation or [perpetration of] the smallest act of aggression against the establishment and the Muslim territory.”
He said in the event such transgression takes place by the enemies, “[our] immediate, decisive, and crushing response in the points that we determine, will bring about their regret and defeat.”
The comments came in the wake of aggressive remarks against Tehran by Saudi Deputy Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Riyadh, which has been waging a war on Yemen for more than two years now and stands accused of supporting Takfiri terrorists, accuses Tehran of regional intervention.
Mohammed (seen below), who is also the Saudi defense minister, accused Tehran last week of seeking to “control the Muslim world,” and said, “We will work to have the battle in Iran rather than in Saudi Arabia.”
Baqeri said the Islamic Republic has displayed only a fraction of its defensive capability and power, adding the enemies have acknowledged that committing any acts of military invasion and aggression against Iran was difficult and impossible.
Iran’s Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan also responded to Mohammed’s remarks by saying on Sunday that if the Saudis did anything stupid, the Iranian Army would hit back and destroy the entire kingdom apart from Mecca and Medina.
