Iran’s Gen calls foreign military bases around country as opportunity

Azerbaijan, Baku, June 24 /Trend D.Khatinoglu/

Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Forces Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh said Iran sees no threat from the foreign military bases in neighbour countries, but an opportunity.

According to ISNA report published on Sunday, Hajizadeh added that Iran's military force has become increasingly strong. "We are self-sufficient in producing drones, missiles, radars, guns etc. and we are at greatest military readiness from last 33 years," he said.

Hajizadeh added that Iranian military force can convert all threats to an opportunity.

Iranian officials and commanders have warned that any "enemy" move, even the slightest aggression, against the Islamic Republic would be reciprocated with a destructive response and will endanger the U.S. interests all around the world.

The Western countries and Israel accuse Iran of seeking nuclear weapon production, but Iran rejects the claims, saying its nuclear program has peaceful purposes.

Both the U.S. and Israel says the military attack on Iran is still on their tables.

A number of states and international organizations, including the United Nations, adopted sanctions against Iran demanding from the Islamic republic to ensure full transparency of its nuclear program and to prove that it is exclusively for peaceful purposes.

Iranian officials have stated on numerous occasions that any aggressive move against the Islamic Republic would be met with proper resistance.
