MNA � Major General Gholam Ali Rashid, the commander of the IRGC's Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters, warned the country�s enemies that their miscalculations about Iran�s power and resolve will be costly for them.
He made the remarks during a Parliament�s session on Saturday, speaking on the occasion of the anniversary of the liberation of Khorramshahr during the war with Iraq back in 1980.
�The enemy�s concerns, pressures, and making excuses over our missiles with their pinpoint accuracy, stem from their knowledge of the fact that Iran is in possession of an independent missile power,� he added.
�Iran defines its defense policies within the framework of its national interests and independent from the interests of foreign and hegemonic powers,� he said.
Noting that peace and stability in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz are tied to Iran�s national interests, the major general warned the country�s enemies to avoid making miscalculations about Iran�s power, otherwise, it would be �costly� for them.
He further maintained that US� and Israeli regime�s anger at Iran stems from the fact that the Islamic Republic possesses both components of deterrence, namely a fully capable and prepared armed forces and a regional power.
