Iranian Revolutionary Guards Threaten US After Kerry Says Military Option Is ‘Ready’ -- Jerusalem Post
Tehran shoots down idea that IAEA will set up office there; Comments by secretary of state are ‘more like a bluff,’ says senior adviser to Ayatollah Khamenei.
The head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, Maj.- Gen. Muhammad Ali Jafari, threatened the US with a strong military response after American Secretary of State John Kerry said a military option to counter the country’s nuclear drive was “ready.”
“You could never understand the extent of the invasive capacity of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Jafari said Saturday according to Iran’s Fars News Agency.
“Mr. Kerry must know that direct battle with the US is the biggest dream of pious and revolutionary people across the world. Your threats offer our revolutionary people the best opportunity,” he said.
He went on to say that “wise” American politicians would most likely prevent use of the “ridiculous military option.”
