IRGC: 'We will blind the wrong eye of any aggressor'
TEHRAN - On Thursday, the commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy reaffirmed Iran's unwavering stance on defending its sovereignty, warning that any aggressor attempting to infringe upon it will have "their leg broken and their wrong eye blinded."
“Any aggressor, no matter their position, who seeks to infringe upon this nation or take a wrong step, will have their leg broken and their wrong eye blinded," Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri said in a speech on the Persian Gulf islands of Abu Musa in the eastern Persian Gulf, Press TV reported.
He also reiterated Iran's message of peace to its neighbors, saying, “We have consistently extended a message of peace and friendship to our neighbors.”
Tangsiri highlighted the strong will of the Iranian people, referring to the massive turnout at Friday prayers led by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei on October 4, after Iran's retaliatory missile strike on Israel's military bases codenamed Operation True Promise II.
Addressing the adversaries, he stated, "We know our enemy and will deliver a decisive blow, for we are a nation that never bows down."
Reaffirming Iran’s commitment to its territorial integrity, Tangsiri declared that the three Iranian islands of Abu Musa, the Greater and Lesser Tunbs remain an inseparable part of its land and will continue to do so.
He concluded by condemning the ongoing Israeli carnage in the West Asia region.
