Iran Press/Iran news: Major General Gholam Ali Rashid, the commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters, said Monday Iran will make its utmost to avoid a military conflict but that doesn’t mean the country is not ready for one.
“Just as we will watch for the breakout of a war with intelligence command, prudence and power, we are much more ready and agile than the past to inflict heavy costs on the aggressor and will make a quick decision" in this regard, he said during a visit to Iranian naval units near the Strait of Hormuz, Press TV reported
“We warn that should there ever be a war, nobody will be in control of neither its duration nor its scope,” he added.
General Rashid remembered US and its allies about their imprudent step in invading Iraq and Afghanistan, and hoped that they had learnt their lesson from their strategic mistake which costed them more than $7 trillion and around 70,000 soldiers.
