Iranian Army Deputy Chief for Executive Affairs Brigadier General Alireza Sheikh says that the country is ready to “respond to the enemy’s excessive demands”, in comments carried by state broadcaster Press TV.
“The Iranian nation is the father and mother of the bombs,” he is quoted as saying. “The enemy cannot achieve its goals against such a nation, because a civilisation cannot be destroyed by bombs.”
Sheikh highlights that the army is ready to respond to any threats against Iran, “with its finger on the trigger”.
