Iran Threatens War



MEHR News Agency: IRGC cmdr. vows to destroy enemies who trespass Iranian borders

Pointing to IRGC’s operation against a US drone on Thursday, he said, “any enemy who trespasses our countries’ borders will not have safety and will be destroyed,” he said on Thursday while addressing a local event in Kordestan province.

“At dawn today, the IRGC’s Air Force bravely downed a US spy drone, which had intruded our border, violating our national security. This is how the Iranian nation deals with its enemies,” he said.

The IRGC’s chief said Iranian frontiers are “our red line,” and that the downing of the American drone sent a “transparent and firm message” that the defenders of Iranian borders would react to any act of aggression by any outsider with a “decisive and final” strike.

He reaffirmed that Iran is not seeking war with anyone, but stands fully ready to firmly respond to any aggression.
