Head of IRGC: US Isn’t To Affect Tehran’s Strategic Decisions
Lieutenant Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Hussein Salami stressed "Tehran's resolve to utilize all its capabilities and possibilities to defend itself against enemies."
Addressing reporters, the top Iranian military official confirmed that "the Islamic Republic does not ask for the permission of any country for implementing neither its defensive strategies nor closing Strait of Hermouz.
"The US is not in a position to affect Iran's decisions," he said adding that "the Americans are not qualified to give us permission for carrying out our military strategy."
"Whenever the vital interests of the Islamic Republic of Iran are threatened, we will use threat against threat as we have no doubt about implementing our defensive strategies for defending our vital values and we will act more resolutely than ever," the General added.
Salami made the remarks in response to the comments by a US Navy commander who had claimed that Washington will not allow Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz.
