Press TV - The spokesman for Iran�s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps says IRGC forces will give the harshest response to the slightest mistakes of the Islamic Republic�s enemies.
Brigadier General Ramezan Sharif made the remarks in a Thursday address to a gathering of thousands of voluntary Basij forces in the northwestern city of Oroumiyeh.
He said the time when one used its military power to intimidate other nations is over. �We hereby announce the slightest mistake made by the enemy will immediately receive the most crushing response.�
General Sharif pointed to a July terrorist attack on a military checkpoint in western Iran, which left several Shia and Sunni Iranians dead, and said, �As you witnessed, the attackers� base was targeted with our missiles in less than a week, and we gave them a crushing response.�
�The enemies of Iran must expect to receive a stronger slap if any of them dares to insult the Iranian nation,� the IRGC spokesman warned.
His comments came a few days after the IRGC attacked the gatherings of the ringleaders of a recent terror attack in the southwestern Iranian city of Ahvaz with several surface-to-surface ballistic missiles in an area east of the Euphrates in Syria.
The strike took place on October 1 by the IRGC�s Aerospace Division, killing and injuring dozens of Takfiri terrorists and ringleaders of the September 22 attack, in which 25 people were�killed and 69 others wounded.
The operation, dubbed the Muharram Strike, saw the IRGC�s Aerospace Force fire a total of six medium-range ballistic missiles from western Iran at targets 570 kilometers (355 miles) away, the IRGC said.
The Daesh terror group and the al-Ahwaziya militants, both of which have known links to Saudi Arabia, claimed responsibility for the�attack in Ahvaz.
Following the terrorist act, Leader of Iran�s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei ordered the country�s intelligence services to swiftly find the accomplices of the "criminals� behind the attack and put them on trial.
