TEHRAN -- The commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC)’s naval forces said Monday the Islamic Republic will teach a painful lesson to enemies in case they launch any act of aggression against the country. Brigadier General Alireza Tangsiri made the remarks during a tour of four Iranian islands near the strategic Strait of Hormuz, which include the Lesser and Greater Tunbs in addition to Abu Mousa and Siri islands. “If the enemy takes any foolish measure to foment sedition or carry out an act of aggression against the Islamic establishment, we will respond in a way that would teach them and their allies a painful lesson and will nip that plot in the bud,” Tangsiri said.
