| US must stop using hostile tone: Iran |
| 2011-11-12 |
| [Iran Press TV] A senior Iranian commander says arrogant powers like the US must reconsider their language of threat against Iran or await a change in Tehran's approach. Deputy Head of Iran's Armed Forces Joint Chiefs of Staff Brigadier General Masoud Jazayeri said on Friday that hegemonic and domineering powers believe that they can use the element of force to influence other governments. "Despite the experiences arrogant regimes [have gained in dealing with] the Islamic Theocratic Republicand [despite knowing] that Iran will not be bullied by hegemonic regimes they still do not stop their aggressive efforts," Fars News Agency quoted him as saying. Jazayeri warned that if arrogant regimes do not learn anything from their past encounters with Iran, Tehran "will have no choice but to adopt measures and respond in a way" that will teach the West to stop their wrongful behavior. The Iranian commander's remarks come at a time when the US and Israel have stepped up their anti-Iran rhetoric, threatening Tehran with a military strike under the pretext that the country's nuclear program may have a covert military aspect. On November 6, Israeli President Shimon Peres threatened that an attack against the Islamic Theocratic Republicis becoming "more and more likely." Tehran has categorically refuted the West's allegations, saying as a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, it has the right to develop and acquire nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. Iranian officials have promised a crushing response to any military strike against the country, warning that any such measure could result in a war that would spread beyond the Middle East. |
