TEHRAN, August 9 - Iranian First Vice-President Eshaq Jahangiri reiterated that nobody could violate the country’s border, warning that the Islamic Republic would give a crushing response to aggressors.

VP calls border security red Line for IranTEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -   “One of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s policies and red lines is protection of the country’s border, in such a way that nobody is permitted to violate the country’s border,” Jahangiri said in comments in the city of Mashhad on Thursday.

He also noted that Iran’s decisive reaction to border violation has been already shown, when a big power like the US violated the Iranian airspace and received a harsh response from the Iranian Armed Forces.

In June, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force’s air defense unit shot down a US spy drone that had violated the Iranian territorial airspace in the southern province of Hormozgan.

The intruding drone was shot by Iran’s homegrown air defense missile system “Khordad-3rd”.
