Iran has prepared crushing plan to respond to US possible attack

Tehran, Aug 2, IRNA – Iran’s armed forces have since many years ago prepared a crushing plan to respond to any possible aggression of the US or the Zionist regime, a senior military official said Monday.

Political Deputy of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Yadollah Javani made the remarks reacting to the latest statement of the US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS), Michael Mullen.

Mullen has claimed that the US had a plan to attack Iran.

“The US and the Zionist regime will not dare to make a military attack against Iran,” said the Iranian official stressing that Mullen’s remarks were just a “psychological operation.”

They had made similar statements before, Javani said, adding that such threats were usually made “for exerting pressure on Iran in its nuclear talks and for winning concession.”

The military official stressed that Washington’s psychological operations aimed at covering its economic and military failures in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Javani noted that any mistake by the Americans would endanger security of the entire region.

“And as it was said before, the Persian Gulf would be safe either for all or for none,” stressed the official.

“The Persian Gulf is a strategic region. If its security is in danger, this will jeopardize their (Americans’) interests too and our response would be tough.” /end
