TEHRAN - The Chief Commander of Iran’s Army Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi said on Tuesday that even those who claim to be superpowers do not dare to attack Iran, stressing that the enemies will fail to achieve their “ominous goal” to disintegrate the Islamic Republic.

“After 40 years since the Islamic Revolution, no one and no country, even those who claim to be superpowers, dare to invade Iran and even think about it,” Major General Mousavi said.

He said the enemies wish to partition Iran, cause insecurity and destruction, disrupt economy and production and hinder the country’s scientific and technological progress but they will never achieve their “vicious goals”.

He noted that the enemies did everything they could during the recent riots that hit Iran, planning and organizing them and providing intelligence and financial services to rioters.

“Separatist groups and Persian-language satellite networks and messengers and the like are also directly involved and responsible for field command,” Mousavi said, stressing the importance of remaining vigilant.

Elsewhere in his remarks, the Iranian commander reminded that the Americans had admitted more than 10 years ago to have resorted to smart phones and applications to obtain their goals in Iran.

“They themselves said that millions of internet users were their soldiers. We should be vigilant,” he said.

Mousavi pointed to the country’s achievements in defense industry, particularly the recent inauguration of the production line of the long-range Sayad B4 missile, and said only few countries have such a combination of technologies.

He said the Iranian nation should become aware of the country’s advancements and the path towards independence, stating that the enemies are fearful of Iran’s power and capabilities.

Iran’s Defense Ministry on Sunday unveiled the upgraded version of the domestically-designed and manufactured Bavar-373 (Belief-373) surface-to-air missile system, and inaugurated the production line of long-range Sayad B4 missile.

During the test, a stationary target was detected at a range of more than 450 kilometers by the optimized radar of the Bavar 373 system and hit within the range of more than 300 kilometers.

Reports said the range of the Bavar-373 system’s detection radar has increased from 350 to 450 kilometers, and the range of its engagement range has risen from 260 to 400 kilometers.

Iran Will Firmly Respond

Also on Tuesday, Iranian Army Ground Forces Commander Brigadier General Kiumars Heidari said his troops are ready to defend the borders of the country with their fingers on the trigger.

Iranian Army Ground Forces Commander Brigadier General Kiumars Heidari made the remarks on an inspection visit to Taybad in Razavi Khorasan Province and at the Dogharron shared border crossing with Afghanistan.

“The ground forces of the army are ready to repel any threat from the enemies and establish security at the borders,” the commander said.

Gen. Heidari said that the presence of army units at the country’s borders is to ensure stable security.

Heydari added, “The battalions of the 77th Khorasan Division which are part of the Northeast Army Headquarters are present in the eastern borders of the country and are defending the borders with high morale and full preparedness.”

The commander added, “at these borders, criminals and smugglers, instigated or perhaps accompanied by some elements from opposite country, conducted aggression in the past but they received decisive responses.

He warned the enemies if they make a mistake, their lives will be lost in a matter of seconds.
