Iran’s deterrence has made US think twice before taking any action: Commander
Iran’s civil defense chief says the country has devised effective measures to deter any hostile scenarios being planned by the United States.
Brigadier General Gholamreza Jalali, who leads Iran’s National Organization for Passive Defense, said on Monday that the country’s robust defense strategies have compelled the US and the Israeli regime to think twice before taking any potential military action against Iranian territory.
“By designing credible defense equations, the Islamic Republic of Iran has managed to control the threats posed by the United States and the Zionist regime at a deterrence level and force the enemy to calculate the costs and benefits of any action against the country,” Jalali said during a speech in southern Iran.
His remarks come amid a significant buildup of US military assets in regional waters near Iran, which has heightened the potential for a military confrontation between the two countries.
Tensions de-escalated earlier this month when delegations from Iran and the United States held an initial round of nuclear talks in Oman.
Jalali said that the US is pursuing three scenarios in its current approach toward Iran: creating a media frenzy about a potential war with Iran to intimidate the country and bring it to the negotiating table, carrying out limited strikes to avoid a broad and costly conflict, and attempting to lay the groundwork for a large-scale regional war.
He emphasized that Iran has robust and carefully designed plans to address all three scenarios, insisting that the country will continue to enhance its military capabilities while striving to maintain better control over its economic and social situation.
