Sept 22, IRNA -- Commander of the Islamic
Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Yahya Rahim-Safavi
said here Monday that Iran will not let any power to bully it or
launch an aggression against it.
Rahim Safavi, talking to IRNA on the sideline of a special
ceremony involving the parade of military units, said the Shahab-3
missile displayed during the ceremony along with other modern
equipment on Monday showed Iran`s deterrence capability.
"Undoubtedly, world powers have came to understanding that Iran
with its high military potentials attaches importance to peace in
the region and the world and will never tolerate bullying," he added.
"New security situation in the Persian Gulf created by the US
and British forces as well as pressures exerted on Iran over the
NPT issue have caused the Iranian Armed Forces to show their readiness
to defend national sovereignty with more vigor and sensitivity,"
Rahim Safavi said.
