Iran president vows against 'bullies'
[AFRICANEWS] Iranian president Ebrahiim Raisi said on Friday (Feb. 02) that the country has no intention to start a war but that it will give a "strong response" to those who try to "bully" them.

His speech came after the U.S. said it is weighing the response to the attack to its base in Jordan where three American soldiers were killed.

The U.S. government said this week that the Islamic Resistance® in Iraq, an umbrella group of Iran-backed militias that includes the group Kataib Hezbollah, had planned, resourced and facilitated the drone attack.

"(We) will not start a war, but if a country, if a cruel force wants to bully us, the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
will give a strong response." Raisi told dozens gathering in Minab city, located in the Hormozgan province near the Strait of Hormuz.

While Biden and White House officials have stressed that they don’t want a broader war with Iran, the administration has also warned that its response to the deadly assault won’t be a "one-off."

Raisi said that previously when the US wanted to talk to Iran they "used the language of threats."

"Now, you don't hear these words. You even hear from that side: 'we have no intention of a conflict with the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran'," he added.

Earlier this week the U.S. said the response to the deadly attack in Jordan, could include striking militia leaders and targets in Syria, Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
and Iraq.

The deaths of the soldiers were the first U.S. fatalities blamed on Iran-backed militia groups, who for months have been intensifying their attacks on American forces in the region following the onset of the Israel-Hamas
...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
