TEHRAN (FNA)- Lieutenant Commander of Khatam ol-Anbia Air Defense Base Brigadier General Alireza Sabahifard underlined the Iranian Armed Forces’ power and might, and said any aggressive move against the country will be given a fatal and crushing response at once.
“The Armed Forces’ might has created stability and security in the country and this might has prevented the enemies from (even) thinking about penetrating the sacred land of the Islamic Republic of Iran and certainly any aggression will be killed in the bud,” Sabahifard said on Monday.

Elsewhere, he referred to the insecurities created in the regional countries, specially the attacks by the terrorist Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Iraq, and said, “With God’s help, the Iraqi army and people will give a crushing response to the aggressors through unity and sympathy.”
Yesterday Lieutenant Commander of the Iranian Army’s Ground Force Brigadier General Kioumars Heidari reiterated full control over the country’s borders, and said the terrorists active in Iraq don’t dare to pose a threat to Iran.
“We don’t assume any threat posed to our borders since the Iranian nation and the country are awake and they enjoy full vigilance under the guardianship of Velayat (Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei) and we also act upon our responsibility,” Heidari told reporters in Tehran on Sunday.
He, meantime, said Iran always monitors its borders vigilantly and has recently tightened border controls to give a crushing response to any possible threats.
Heidari referred to the recent events in Iraq and the terrorist attacks in the neighboring country, and said what is happening in the regional states is a part of the plots hatched by the arrogant powers and the Zionist regime.
