In case of any attack on our country, we will first of all target at this system,â€ deputy chief of the Iranian parliamentâ€™s commission on foreign policy and national security Hussein Ibrahimi said in his interview to the Sherg newspaper, APA reports. He said it is the natural right of Iran to hit the missile defense system in Malatya, Turkey.
â€œActually, this system aims to protect the Zionist regime. It will be sited for Israel under the name of NATO. In order to prevent problems, Turkey should not have allowed this. We are analyzing the relations with Turkey at the meeting of the commission on foreign policy and national security. Iran warned Ankara about the bad consequences when the issue on NATOâ€™s missile defense system in Turkey aroused discussion,â€ he said.

Two weeks ago, Commander of the Aerospace Forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, General Amirali Hajizadeh said in case of any attack on his country, they will target at NATOâ€™s missile defense system that will be sited in Turkey.
