| [PRESSTV] The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps holds the main and final stage of massive exercises in the Persian Gulf, launching an "offensive" component in Iran's defensive strategy for the first time. The Great Prophet 12 drill entered its final chapter in the general area on Saturday, with IRGC chief General Mohammad Ali Jafari saying "we hope the enemies have more than ever grasped the power of our response." "This was a response to allegations made by the enemies who should know that the defense capabilities of the Islamic Theocratic Republicof Iran are deterrent, and as the Eminent Leader [Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei ...the successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and the actual dictator of Iran... ] has said, 'if they try to hit us once, they will definitely be hit 10 times more'," Jafari told news hounds. The IRGC Ground Force’s chief Brigadier General Mohammad Pakpour said the drills take place on a strategic and defensive level proportionate to the enemies’ potential threats. |
