Firing one bullet at Iran’ will ‘set fire’ to US interests
Iran warned
the United States on Saturday that any aggression against the Islamic republic
would have serious consequences for US interests in the region.
“Firing one
bullet towards Iran will set fire to the interests of America and its allies”
in the Middle East, armed forces general staff spokesman Brigadier General
Abolfazl Shekarchi told the Tasnim News Agency.
“The Islamic
Republic has never and will never start any wars,” Shekarchi added, stating
that “if the enemy commits the smallest of mistakes, it will face the biggest
revolutionary reaction from Iran in Central and West Asia, and it will
certainly not survive the battle.”
“If the
enemy fires one shot in our direction, we will fire ten back,” he said.
Shekarchi
added that if Iran finds itself under attack, “the enemies will receive an
irreparable and historic response that will render them regretful.”
Shekarchi
claimed that “America and its friends” are not capable of going into war with
Iran, adding that “America does not have the ability to overthrow the Islamic
Republic regime. If it did, it would have done that by now.”
“The current
situation in the region and the world is completely in favour of the Islamic
Republic,” Shekarchi claimed.
