ISFAHAN (IRNA) - Deputy Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Mohammad Hejazi said on Monday Iran would determine the scale and scope of response to any possible threat.

“The era of hit-and-run is over. Possible beginners of any threat against Iran should notice that Iran reserves the right to determine the scale and scope of response to any threat,” Hejazi said.
Addressing a ceremony of IRGC’s forces in this ancient city in central Iran, the commander said that Tehran would hold the White House and the U.S. administration responsible for any threat against Iran.
“Enemies of Iran should know that they would face Iranians’ Iron fist in case of making any mistake against the country,” commander Hejazi stressed.
He added, “Iranians would destroy enemies’ glass palace with their fire balls” if they even think of playing with the fate of Iranian youth.
“The U.S. and its Zionist allay are mired in Afghanistan and Iraq,” said the commander stressing that the U.S. and Zionist regime’s threats against Iran was a result of their desperation.
Hejazi made the remarks in reaction to statements made by the U.S. and Israel about taking possible action against Iran for what they call the nuclear program.
