In comments on Tuesday, General Nasirzadeh condemned the American officials’ recent threats against Iran, saying, “The Iranian nation would not tolerate any threat. However, we are constantly moving forward in the sphere of defense capabilities and won’t allow anybody to threaten our country.”
“If the (US) threats are carried out, we will defend the country to the last drop of blood, as our defense will be painful for them,” the minister warned.
Highlighting the efforts by the Iranian military scientists and experts, the general warned that any aggression will make Iran unveil surprising capabilities that will be highly effective.
The defense minister also warned that all bases in the regional countries that may facilitate the US military aggression against Iran will be deemed to be legitimate targets.
He went on to say that Iran’s defense capabilities have increased in comparison with the 12-day war in June 2025 when the US and the Zionist regime attacked the country.
