The head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, Maj.-
Gen. Muhammad Ali Jafari, threatened the US with a
strong military response after American Secretary of
State John Kerry said a military option to counter the
country’s nuclear drive was “ready.”
“You could never understand the extent of the
invasive capacity of the Islamic Republic of Iran,”
Jafari said Saturday according to Iran’s Fars News
Agency.
“Mr. Kerry must know that direct battle with the US
is the biggest dream of pious and revolutionary people
across the world. Your threats offer our revolutionary
people the best opportunity,” he said.

“Obviously, the Americans have no such power (to
launch an attack on Iran). If they did, they would
not have been expelled from Iraq and Afghanistan in
such a totally weakened state,” Velayati said.
