Iran ready to firmly confront US threats

TEHRAN, Jun. 04 (MNA) – Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri said the country is ready to decisively deal with military threats posed by the US.

In response to recent comments made by an American presidential candidate that the US, if necessary, will use military action against Iran, Jazayeri noted “while America’s speaking of all options against Iran is a mere propaganda, the Islamic Republic of Iran is completely ready to strongly and forcefully tackle every possible action on the part of Americans.”

“The Iranian nation and armed forces have never sought war though preparation for defense has never been neglected,” highlighted the official adding “if America’s military threats are put in action, Iran is ready to free humanity from warmongering and hegemonic policies of the US in a real battle.”

Also touching upon the US president’s recent statements on the civil war in Syria, Brig. Gen. Massoud Jazayeri underlined “Americans seem to have forgotten the fact that they have an acting role in the Syrian crisis as they put the oppressed people of Syria in proxy wars with full support of ISIL and Takfiri terrorists over the past six years.

He outlined Obama’s comments as a propaganda stunt to mislead the public opinion; “the so-called US-led anti-ISIL coalition has had no fruitful outcome, rather it has only created safe network for transit of arms, ammunition and terrorists for continuation of war against the Syrian nation and government.”
