MNA � Military threat against Iran doesn�t work any longer since the enemy is now aware of Iran�s great defense power, said former IRGC�s first-in-command.







�During the first stage of the Revolution, we were facing military threats but at the beginning of the Revolution�s second stage, these threats no longer work since the enemy know that it will fall into disgrace if adopts a wrong measure,� Chief of IRGC Baghiatallah cultural and social base, Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari, said on Saturday.

He went on to say that downing of the intruding US Global Hawk drone�proved the grandeur of Islamic Revolution defense achievements, noting, �the enemy sees this and doesn�t say a word so as not to lose the game.�

Back in June, a US spy drone intruded into Iranian airspace, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps brought it down after the drone ignored Iran�s several warnings, using home-made air defense systems. IRGC says there was another intruding US manned plane beside the Global Hawk but the force �refrained� from targeting it; this was later confirmed by Presiden Trump as he �appreciated� Iran for not shooting the manned plane.

In comments made a few hours after the incident, IRGC Commander Major General Hossein Salami said the shooting down of the US aircraft had a straightforward message that any foreign intrusion into Iran�s sovereign territories would draw a crushing response. �Borders are our red line, and any enemy violating these borders will not go back,� the commander underlined.
