General Baqeri said over the past few days, the enemies triggered some
developments in the region against Iran without receiving an appropriate
response.
"But this does not mean we will remain silent or surrender to the violence. We
will give a crushing response to the enemies in due time,” he said, apparently
referring to a recent Israeli airstrike on a Syrian airbase which killed several
Iranian advisors.
He expressed satisfaction with the current preparedness of Iranian armed forces
to defend the country’s borders.
"A review of our defense capabilities has led the enemies to this conclusion
that any violence against our soil and national interests will cost them highly
and they will achieve nothing but casualties and damages,” he said.
Elsewhere in his remarks, General Baqeri said every now and then some naïve
politicians in some states rise to power, level accusations against and order
their armies to wage a war on Iran.
"This comes as top commanders of the very violent countries like the US warn the
politicians against waging any war against Iran. They advise the politicians to
resort to political solutions when it comes to dealing with Iranians,” he added.
He pointed out that the US, Saudi Arabia and the Zionist regime are run by naïve
politicians who raise absurd claims about Iran.
"But when it comes to taking practical steps, the same politicians come to this
sense that Iran’s defence capability and power is inviolable,” he added.
General Baqeri concluded that the Islamic Republic will not sit idle if the
enemies violate its national interests.
