Iran has always been ready for a ‘full-fledged’ war, IRGC commander
Iran has always been ready for a “full-fledged” war,
semi-official press agency Tasnim cited the commander of the Iranian Aerospace
Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Amir Ali Hajizadeh as
saying on Sunday.
The senior commander also said that US bases and
aircraft carriers “stationed up to 2,000 kilometers” around Iran are within the
range of Iranian missiles.
“Everybody should know that all American bases and
their aircraft carriers in a distance of up to 2,000 kilometres around Iran are
within the range of our missiles,” Hajizadeh said.
The statements come a day after Yemen’s Iran-backed
Houthi militia claimed responsibility for drone attacks on two Saudi Aramco oil
installations in the Kingdom’s Eastern Province.
The US accused Iran of leading the attacks on the
Saudi oil facilities, ruling out Yemeni involvement and denouncing Tehran for
engaging in false diplomacy.
