Tehran, YJC. High-ranking military official says arming West Bank to enter the operational phase soon.
Mohammad Baqeri, Commander of Components and Joint Affairs of Armed Forces said "Iran has its own red lines. If anyone trespasses them, we will set for action directly. The head of the Supreme National Security Council has also said that should the terrorists enter the vicinity of our borders we will take harsh action against them.”

He added that the Iraqi capital of Baghdad also falls within the red lines of Iran and said that if the city is in danger, the Islamic Republic of Iran will take direct action and fight the invaders.

The Islamic Republic of Iran's support for its allies is of a different nature, he asserted, adding "According to the guidelines of the Supreme Leader and the Supreme National Security Council, we will take appropriate action in every place according to what is needed in relation to that place.”

Baqeri also pointed to the Supreme Leader’s assertion that the West Bank must be armed and said "So far, whatever the Supreme Leader has ordered is turned operational. It will be the same with his order regarding the armament of the West Bank which will be operational in the near future.”
