Iran’s defense minister, Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh, has called the recent Israeli threat to Iran “pure nonsense,” claiming the regime’s incapacity to pose a real threat to Iran.
In an interview with Al Mayadeh, Nasirzadeh said Iran has the power to prevent Israel from threatening it. “The malicious actions of the Zionist regime will bring about their own destruction.”
He added that no one who can actually threaten Iran would speak in that way. “The statement from Israeli officials is unfounded.”
Commenting on the same issue, Major General Hossein Salami, commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), declared that Iran is ready to face a possible scenario. General Salami emphasized his full preparation to stand up to Iran’s threat, reaffirmed the firm resolve of the Islamic Republic, and emphasized the protection of the sovereignty of its people and the rights of the Iranian people.
