The armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran are ready to defend the country from any threats by the enemies, Brigadier General Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar said while in the western city of Khorramshahr, the official state news agency reported.
Separately, Iran, hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Wednesday that the Islamic Republic would make the West regret trying to prevent it from acquiring nuclear capabilities.
Everyone must accept and respect the Iranian nations desire to obtain peaceful nuclear technology, Ahmadinejad said at a rally in Khorramabad.
If anyone shows aggression to the Iranian nations rights, Iran will wipe the dark stain of regret on their foreheads.
