“The Iranian armed forces are in full combat readiness and will give a crushing response to those daring to attack the country,” Minister of Defence and Armed Forces Logistics Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi warned yesterday.
General Vahidi sent out the warning at a special ceremony to launch the new gunboats delivered to border guards on Kish Island.
He revealed that powerful Iranian forces comprising IRGC, the Army and police are closely monitoring the movements of those he was quick to refer to as ‘alien forces’ in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.
According to General Vahidi the U.S. tried to promote Iranophobia to attain its sinister goals, making it loud and clear that all countries in the region had called for the withdrawal of ‘alien forces.’
Vahidi who said he was confident the will of nations would prevail in the near future added that countries in the region through unity and solidarity could help restore durable security to the region.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran spares no efforts to maintain security in the region in order to bring more welfare, comfort and development for those nations severely harmed by presence of aliens in the region,” Vahidi concluded.
