Iranian deputy chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff in charge of Basij and defense culture Brigadier General Masoud Jazayeri said the Zionist regime will die a quick death if it fires the first bullet at Iran, state-run IRNA news agency reported.

He stressed that the usurper regime of al-Quds (Jerusalem) is quite well aware of the fact that it not only lacks means for any military moves against Iran, “but also will die away rapidly if it fires the first bullet it fires at the country.”

Noting that what the Zionist regime circulates about military actions against Iran is just a propaganda warfare, the Iranian official said the “latest assessments of the US and Zionist regime situations prove that the enemy is totally lacking power to conduct any military confrontations with Iran.”

“All occupied lands and the illegitimate interests of the United States in the region are within the reach of Iranian weapons,” the brigadier general added.

He pointed out that any probable invasion “will be met with prompt and crushing response, thanks to the high capabilities of the Iranian forces.”

He further reiterated that “according to teachings of the Holy Quran, Iran will never be the initiator of any war.”
