Safavi: US, Israel lack proper situation to initiate war with Iran
[IRNA] Advisor to Commander-in-Chief of Iranian Armed Forces Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi said on Tuesday that the US and Israel are not in satisfactory situation to commit aggression on Iran but the enemies should not be regarded as entirely weak.Speaking to a group of university students, he elaborated the current global developments in the face of US and Israeli military threat to Iran. Safavi said that in 1980, the US was angry with triumph of the Islamic Revolution and encouraged Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein to invade Iran. The United States has a record of Iranian bravery and the wise leadership of late Imam Khomeini who mobilized the people to stand up to the US-backed Iraqi-imposed war (1980-1988). Safavi said that Iranian armed forces are in full combat preparedness to strongly respond to any probable threat or military assault even beyond their geographic borders. He said that the government plays a vital role in bolstering the combat capabilities of Iranian armed forces at this sensitive juncture. Posted by: Fred 2010-08-25 |
