Iran Says It Will Respond Forcefully To Any Foreign Attack
By Iran Review
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast has highlighted Iran’s defense capabilities, saying that the country would respond forcefully to any foreign attack.
“At the moment, Iran has the greatest defense capability in its history. Whoever wants to attack our country will meet with our very firm response,” Mehmanparast said.
He added that Iran’s opponents are well aware of this fact and this has seriously diminished the possibility of war.
“Our adversary completely understands that should it attack our country, it will itself become the subject of a great tragedy. This is why the possibility of war is very, very weak,” Mehmanparast noted.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman also criticized the West over the sanctions it has imposed on Iran over its nuclear energy program, describing them as “completely illegal and unjustified because our nation has not committed any crime.”
He played down the effect of sanctions on the Iranian economy and pointed out that they have made Iran “increasingly self-sufficient in many economic sectors” and boosted its economy.
“If we were to make light of it, we could thank the US and European states for imposing sanctions because they have actually spurred economic growth,” Mehmanparast noted, adding, “When growth in many Western countries is either negative or around zero, in Iran we have 6.2 percent growth in GDP.”
When is the us going to stay at home and take care of her own problems and take care of her own people . Iran is no real threat to the world or to uS, so what is the big deal? The global elite wants control of oil , and they want to make sure they pocket all the money, and put all those people back on camels.
