Baku-APA. Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced on Thursday that in case the country is attacked, the IRGC will target the interests of the enemies in any part of the world, APA reports quoting news.xinhuanet.com website.
IRGC has gained capabilities and strength enough to target the interests of the enemies in face of attacks, said the announcement posted on IRGC’s website.
"IRGC is in full readiness to encounter firmly with the stupidity of the U.S. and the Zionist regime (of Israel)," Public Relations of IRGC was quoted as saying.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Mullen said the United States has a plan in place to attack Iran, if it is necessary.
"Military actions have been on the table and remain on the table" for curbing Iran’s nuclear ambition, Mullen, the highest ranking U.S. military officer, told NBC’s "Meet the Press".
"In a decisive battle, IRGC will impose a definite defeat to the enemies," said the announcement.
Muslim Iranians have proved that, despite the economic pressures, military threats and psychological war, they will push forward with their inalienable objectives, according to the announcement.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said Wednesday that if the military threats of the enemies come true, Iranians will extend the battlefield to beyond the region.
On Wednesday, Iran’s deputy ambassador to the United Nations, Eshaq Alehabib, complained to UN about U.S. military threats against the country over its nuclear program.
In a letter addressed to the UN Security Council (UNSC), Alehabib criticized the U.S. for the military threats.
