Iran Will Respond More Resolutely to Any new aggression, defense minister says

According to SAEDNEWS, Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Brigadier General Nasirzadeh referred to the recent threats by White House officials against the Islamic republic of Iran, adding that the Iranian nation would not accept any threats and that the armed forces will not allow anyone to threaten the country.

He added, “If these threats become operational, we will defend the country with all the power to the last drop of our blood and our defense will be painful for them.”

Nasirzadeh stressed that the country has “surprise” capabilities in countering threats, warning against renewed military aggression.

Any country facilitating such an attack or providing a base for the aggressors will be a legitimate target, the defense minister added.

Referring to the defense preparedness of the armed forces, he described the country’s defensive position better than during the 12-day imposed war.

Israel launched attacks on Iran on June 13 last year, killing more than 1,000 people during its 12-day aggression. The United States entered the war on June 22, bombing three of Iran’s nuclear sites. Iran responded strongly to both aggressors, causing them to ask for a ceasefire.
