IRGC chief: Strike possibility on Iran is zero

It is impossible to strike on Iran, commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, General Mohammad Ali Jafari said.

According to ISNA report, Jafari said on Sunday that regarding enemies’ situations, the possibility of a military operation against Iran is zero, that’s why the enemies started economic war against Tehran.

He said that IRGC is completely ready for defending the country against any invasion.

Talking about Syria’s crisis, Jafari said that enemies’ attempt to destroy Bashar al-Assad’s regime has failed.
