Islamic Republic will give crushing response to the enemy's threats, Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan said on Saturday.

The commander referred to Iran’s resistance towards hostile countries during the history and noted that Iran will not back off towards its enemies.

Iran has been under US pressures and sanctions from the beginning of Islamic Revolution and Washington uses every excuse to impose restrictions on Islamic Republic, Dehqan said in a reference to new US senate anti-Iranian measures.

He said that Iran’s defense achievements are the result of efforts made in the sanctions era.

The minister pointed to Iran’s strength, and said that the US sanctions cannot affect Iran’s activities.

Iran will not obey the US demands in defense field, he said, noting that Iran has a transparent missile defense program.
