Addressing a ceremony to open mass-production line of a new home-made air-defense system here in Tehran on Monday, Vahidi reiterated Iran's military might to repel any possible threat posed by the aliens.
He pointed to the Iranian Armed Forces' capability to defend the country during the 8 years of the Iraqi imposed war on Iran in the 1980s and Iran's recent progress in military fields, and stated, "The brave warriors of the Islamic Republic of Iran Armed Forces … are prepared to give a crushing response under the command of their Commander-in-Chief (Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei) to any hostile move against the Islamic Iran and make them (enemies) experience a fate worse than the fate of (former Iraqi President) Saddam's regime."
Last month, IRGC Commander Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said that the Iranian Armed Forces have the necessary capabilities to bring into action the Supreme Leader's warnings to enemies.
"The deterrent warnings of the Supreme Leader of the (Islamic) Revolution to enemies are serious and based on the capacities and reality of the Islamic Iran's defensive power," Jafari said, addressing Iranian border guards units in the country's Northwestern regions.
Addressing a large and fervent congregation of the Iranian people in the country's Northeastern holy city of Mashhad on March 21, Ayatollah Khamenei deplored Israel's war rhetoric against Iran, and warned that any hostile move by the Zionist regime against the Islamic Republic would be reciprocated with a destructive response.
Ayatollah Khamenei pointed to the recent warmongering statements by Israeli officials and warned Tel Aviv against any wrongdoing against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
"Israel's leaders sometimes threaten Iran, but they know that if they do a damn thing, the Islamic Republic will raze Tel Aviv and Haifa to the ground," Ayatollah Khamenei stressed.
