A senior commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps [IRGC] stated that no country would dare to stage an act of aggression against the Islamic Republic.

“The discourse of military warfare and the specter of war have been only fabricated by the West since the enemy is devoid of such a will [to attack the country], and this has been proven to all by now,” said Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the commander of the IRGC's Aerospace Division.

The senior military official stressed that: “Neither the US nor any other country has the audacity to carry out an incursion into the Iranian territory.”

He further warned the Americans to “be careful about their behavior,” adding that: “Countries cannot be expected to fall into line with them all the time.”

As an instance of the Islamic Republic’s promptness in reacting to enemy threats, Hajizadeh pointed to the Corps’ recent downing of an intruding American spy drone.

Iran’s elite IRGC force shot down the drone over the southern Iranian province of Hormozgan on June 20 after the aircraft had ignored the forces’ repeated warnings.

As per normal, the Americans did not observe the international laws, Hajizadeh said of the incident.

He went on to say that Washington had mistakenly underestimated Iranian authorities’ warnings against violating the country’s territorial integrity as mere ranting.

“They did not see it coming at all,” he said about Iran’s response.

The forces that responded to the drone incursion were observing their duty, he added, hailing the use of domestically-built the Khordad 3 air defense system for downing the trespassing RQ-4 Global Hawk.

Despite dismissing the prospect of military action, Hajizadeh, meanwhile, described the economic war being waged on Iran by the US and its allies as the main challenge currently facing the country, urging people and authorities to join forces to confront the American economic pressure campaign.
