“The Islamic Republic of Iran will continue enhancing its defense capabilities in all areas based on its doctrine and given the necessity of defense due to threats. Our armed forces are always prepared to stand against the atrocities of the US government and Zionist regime,” Iranian Defense Minister Brig. General Hossein Dehghani said on Saturday.
Brig. Gen. Dehghan’s remarks came in response to the American and Israeli ministers of defense – Ashton Carter and Moshe Yaalon – who repeated their threats of military option against Iran.
“I believe that the time for making such remarks while both regimes are gripped with self-made conflicts and in need of help from others, has long passed. Their desperation only leads to blaming others for their own failures and is only good for their own domestic propaganda,” he said.
The Iranian minister added, “the murderous and aggressive nature of Israel and the US has become known to all nations in the world and they are known as warmongering, bloodthirsty and anti-human rights regimes. They really do not need to reveal their nature any more by their own remarks.”
Noting that even small nations such as Somalia and organizations like Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Hamas in the occupied territories have been able to impose humiliation and defeat on the US, Israel and their allies, Dehghan added, "naturally, the powerful Iranian nation with its history of civilization many times older than the US and the fake Israeli regime considers such remarks as signs of their weakness and inability, and at the same time is prepared to teach an unforgettable lesson to any of its aggressors.”
