Iran ready to inflict heavy costs on aggressor: General
Tehran (KNA) - Iranian armed forces maintain the highest level of combat readiness and will respond to any aggression with countermeasures that will cost the enemies dearly, says a senior commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).
Major General Gholam Ali Rashid, the commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters, said Monday Iran will make its utmost to avoid a military conflict but that doesn't mean the country is not ready for one.
"Just as we will watch for the breakout of a war with intelligence command, prudence and power, we are much more ready and agile than the past to inflict heavy costs on the aggressor and will make a quick decision" in this regard, he said during a visit to Iranian naval units near the Strait of Hormuz.
"We warn that should there ever be a war, nobody will be in control of either its duration or its scope," he added.
