U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan are being monitored by Iran using satellites and other technology and are well within range of Iranian missiles, a top Iranian military official said.
"The Americans should realize that the 200,000 troops they have deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan are in Iran’s firing range,” Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi, an advisor to Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said in remarks published by Iranian newspapers Monday.
Speaking on the 27th anniversary of the beginning of the Iran-Iraq War, Safavi, the former head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards, said Iran was now in a strong position to defend itself.
"Iran has now a strong intelligence system and missiles. We are closely watching the foreigners' moves in neighboring countries by highly advanced satellite technology and advanced radars. If they enter our airspace or our territorial waters, they will get a fair response," the Iran Daily quoted Safavi as saying.

That’s the funny thing about firing ranges.
They can go both ways.
Yeah, but range works both ways.

Yeah well...we have a lot more guns than you do. And our make bigger booms!
Who says you are going to see us coming?
All the more reason to make our first aerial bombings and cruise missile attacks so overwhelming that the scumbags have little or nothing left to fire.
U.S to Iran...”You’re in OUR firing range...And we don’t even have to leave home.”
Well, yeah, the spec ops guy who is behind you with the knife is, technically, within “firing range.”
My fury against Iranian jihadists is almost superseded by my frustration with the Administration.
How can an American President be so right and so wrong at the same while? It simply does not compute for me.
Will you please take these terrorists out and get it all over with?
WTF?
Can’t the Iranians just wait until Hillary is elected before such saber rattling - that would be a sure-fire prescription to staying alive.
I have said this many times … with all our Nuke subs somewhere offshore, I think Iran is defiantly within our range.
To quote a phrase: “bring it on”!
Can we please shoot these guys now?
Hey, is Dr. Zin still doing his thin?
Exactly, go ahead and fire and see what happens.
They want to beat the rush?
If Hitlary is elected, there will much more of this “saber rattling” from the worlds radical regimes.
