MNA Major General Gholam Ali Rashid, the commander of the IRGC's Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters, warned the countrys enemies that their miscalculations about Irans power and resolve will be costly for them.
He made the remarks during a Parliaments session on Saturday, speaking on the occasion of the anniversary of the liberation of Khorramshahr during the war with Iraq back in 1980.
The enemys concerns, pressures, and making excuses over our missiles with their pinpoint accuracy, stem from their knowledge of the fact that Iran is in possession of an independent missile power, he added.
Iran defines its defense policies within the framework of its national interests and independent from the interests of foreign and hegemonic powers, he said.
Noting that peace and stability in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz are tied to Irans national interests, the major general warned the countrys enemies to avoid making miscalculations about Irans power, otherwise, it would be costly for them.
He further maintained that US and Israeli regimes anger at Iran stems from the fact that the Islamic Republic possesses both components of deterrence, namely a fully capable and prepared armed forces and a regional power.
