TEHRAN -- The chief commander of Iran’s Army says the occupying regime of Israel’s “empty threats” against the Islamic Republic stem from its “fear”, warning that any hostile Israeli move would be met with a “proportionate response”.
“The Zionists’ driveling stems from fear and horror, as leaders of this ominous regime know that if they wished to get such drivel a bit closer to action, they would receive a proportionate response that would put a sooner end to their existence,” Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi said.
The occupying regime of Israel has recently intensified its attempts to derail the Vienna talks on the removal of U.S. sanctions against Iran by continually bringing up Iran’s missile and drone capabilities, by claiming that Iran acts maliciously in the region, and resorting to the old allegation that Iran is trying to build nuclear weapons.
Tel Aviv has also threatened to attack Iran, characterizing the option of using force against Iran as “diplomacy by other means”.
Iran’s lead negotiator at the Vienna talks on Sunday upbraided the occupying regime for trying to sabotage the “atmosphere outside the negotiations hall in an attempt to influence the outcome”.
Iran’s security chief recently brushed aside reports about Israel’s budget for a potential attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, saying the regime must consider the colossal cost of repair after Tehran’s “shocking” response.
In his remarks, General Mousavi hailed the progressive development of Iran’s naval force, putting it down to “the spirit of moving forward and dissatisfaction with the current situation in the Navy”.
He also said anti-Iran sanctions “have lost their efficiency a long time ago”, the evidence of which is the domestic capabilities developed by the country’s armed forces.
