Tehran, YJC. Aerospace commander says Iran is far more powerful than to be afraid of US threats.
IRGC
Aerospace Commander Brigadier General Amirali Hajizadeh said "The military capabilities
of the Islamic Republic of Iran have frustrated Americans. The country’s
statesmen need not worry about their threats, because the US is far weaker than
to threaten Iran.”
Maintaining
that the RQ170 is one of Iran’s armed forces’ greatest achievements, he said "The
drone was a highly advanced US aircraft which turned into hundreds of projects
the very first days.”
"Americans
were shocked by us catching the drone,” he said, stating "US arrogance is
nothing new. Their problem is not our nuclear case. Once the nuclear is over
they will turn to limiting our ballistic missiles or our drones.”
He asserted
that US officials intend to cause fear in order to get advantages, adding "Americans
never engage in direct confrontation with big powers.”
"No
one has the right to address such issues. On behalf of the IRGC and the armed
forces I have to tell the administrative and judicial branches not to worry
about defense issues, because America is far weaker than to try to threaten the
Islamic Republic of Iran.”
He also
said that the IRGC is fully aware of the US military movements around the Iranian
borders.
"Our
country is among the 3 or 4 countries which have achieved the technology to
make drones. We are among those countries which have created drones one hundred
percent domestically,” he added.
