TEHRAN -- Iran’s foreign minister on Monday slammed recent anti-Iranian remarks by the occupying regime of Israel’s foreign minister Yair Lapid, saying that the Islamic Republic will defend its interests with power.
Hussein Amir-Abdollahian’s remarks came in a tweet in response to earlier claims by Lapid that the Zionist regime “could attack Iran if necessary without informing the Biden administration”.
In an interview on Friday, Lapid alleged that “Israel has capabilities, some of which the world, and even some experts in the field, cannot even imagine”.
Reacting to Lapid’s allegations, Amir-Abdollahian said the senseless remarks made by the “fake Israeli regime against the great Iranian nation” are a dream, which will never come true.
“We will defend the nation’s rights, interests and progress with power and wisdom,” he said. “Zionism has no place in the future world,” he added.
The Zionist regime has never stopped advertising the threat of “military action” against Iran and falsely accusing the Islamic Republic of seeking to acquire non-conventional military capability.
Iranian military commanders, for their part, have decisively warned Tel Aviv on multiple occasions against any adventurism against the country, pledging a crushing response to any attack.
Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) launched a massive military exercise last week, following which both chairman of the Chiefs of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Muhammad Baqeri and IRGC chief commander Hussein Salami warned that the Iranian armed forces will “cut off” the hands of aggressors in case of an attack against the country.
