TEHRAN – The head of Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guards has warned that 190,000 US troops stationed close to the Islamic republic could be targetted if Iran were attacked, a report said Wednesday.

“More than 190,000 members of American forces are scattered in Afghanistan and Iraq. If the US carries out its threats against Iran, they nust know that all these forces will be within our reach,” Yahya Rahim Safavi told the ultra-hardline Ya Lessarat newspaper.

“The US and the Zionist regime (Israel) do not have the power to confront us and we will hand them bone-breaking blows,” Safavi said, adding that “Iraq is getting more unsafe everyday for America” anyway.

He also warned that if “the Zionist regime had a satanic thought and attacked Iran, we would not leave one point safe in the entire Zionist territory”.

The United States and Israel both accuse Iran of seeking to develop nuclear weapons, and have not ruled out military options to prevent the clerical regime of acquiring the bomb.
