A senior commander of the Revolutionary Guards has insisted that all US military bases in the region and its aircraft carriers 2,000 kilometers within the range of Iranian missiles, and reiterated his country's readiness to fight all-out war.

The new Iranian threat came from the commander of the Revolutionary Guards' air force, Brigadier General Amir Ali Haji Zadeh, in a televised interview with "Naders Show" program in the Iranian media to address the Americans. Qatar and Dhafra in the UAE, as well as another American battleship were in the Gulf of Oman.

Zadeh pointed out that the air defense officers in Iran are authorized to target everything that touches the airspace of the country, and this happened when the Israeli drone was shot down in 2014 in the skies of Natanz in the center of the country.

He explained that his expectations at the time of America's response to the downing of the drone did not exceed 2%, "because we have already issued four warnings, and also avoided the destruction of the aircraft" P8 ", which was keeping pace with the Global Hawk with 35 people on board. We do. "

Zadeh: Air defense officers in Iran are authorized to target everything that affects the country's airspace.

Guided missiles
The Iranian military commander has promised Washington that the Islamic Republic is always on standby for all-out war, but said Iran has no desire to go to war.

He likened the region to a gunpowder tank waiting to spark an explosion, adding that "neither Iran nor America intends to wage any war," but warned at the same time that some forces in the field and in constant contact with its counterpart can do something, and therefore can erupt War at any moment.

Brigadier General Haji Zadeh denied US President Donald Trump's account that he had stopped an attack on Iran just minutes before its implementation, stressing that "if the Americans did so we would hit US bases and battleships with our missiles."

He pointed out that he issued orders to his troops to respond quickly to any US aggression, and that any US response to Iran's response would have sparked the war, and this is what Washington knew, describing the latter's logical abuse.

An unbearable war
"Because of the American hostilities against the Iranian people, we are facing an intolerable economic war for several years, which may cause the American hostility to cause the officer, the soldier or the general on the border to exercise his powers and make a response that could turn into conflict and war," he said.

"Everyone should know that all US military bases in the countries of the region - including Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE and other countries, as well as all American ships, warships and aircraft carriers - are all 2,000 miles away," he said. "It is within range of our missiles, and we are constantly monitoring them."

Two months ago, Iran's Revolutionary Guards unveiled a "Persian Gulf" missile, which it said was the country's first naval ballistic missile, the Fateh missile, which could target a naval target from a distance of 300 km.

Brigadier-General Haji Zadeh said the Americans believe that if they move away from us 400 kilometers away, "they will come out of our range of fire, but wherever they are, when the spark of war we will target their battleships first."

Tensions in the Gulf continue to escalate following Washington's withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran and U.S. sanctions against Iran, from US-British military deployments to attacks on oil tankers and the downing of drones, to the detention and disappearance of oil tankers.
