TEHRAN, Nov. 01 (MNA) – Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces said the Middle East is plagued with the existence of a number of ‘political midgets’ that incite crimes and chaos in a bid to prove their importance.

Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri made the remark in mocking of a UAE official who said Persian Gulf littoral states should use destructive weapons against Iran.

“The ridiculous part of such comments is the exaggerations that every now and then are leveled against the mighty country of Iran,” he said.

He went on to stress, “while the divine spirits of human beings are repulsed by any war and violence, particularly the use of unconventional weapons, some countries are still seeking to employ weapons of mass destruction against others.”
