Elaborating on statements by an Iranian senior military commander who said that Iran will take preemptive measures in case of threats by the enemies against Iran’s interests, he noted that Iran has always made it clear that it will forcefully defend its interests and it will not allow any foreign threats under any pretext.
A top Iranian commander, General Mohammad Hejazi had warned that the nation will launch preemptive strikes against those countries threatening its interests.
