TABNAK, Oct, 06: “Our message to enemy is that if they want to play with fire in the region, we will stand against them firmly. One of these cases is Netanyahu’s playing with fire and even his fanning flames of the fire. We have designed different trainings for this,” he said in an interview with al-Alam TV Channel.
“Iranian Armed Forces have been prepared for dealing with all threats over past years,” he said.
“We hold numerous drills inside and outside of the region. We evaluate a;; possible scenarios to be designed by enemies inside of a geographical region including Persian Gulf and even beyond that and we will carry out the training and design accordingly,” he continued.
The Iranian commander referred to the great importance of the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf and stressed Iran's efforts to keep its security. Meanwhile, he said that Iran sends a message of peace to the countries of the Persian Gulf and friendly countries, both the countries in the region and the countries outside it, whose delegations come to Iran from time to time.
"Islam does not allow us to attack any country unless they attack us," he said, adding that, "If an Islamic country is the target of an attack by a non-Islamic country, or if the neighboring countries are determined to stand against the bullying and thuggery of the United States and other states, we will help them."
The IRGC Navy commander also rejected the Western states' allegations that try to link Yemeni military power to Iran.
