Minister: Iran to give strong response to any aggression

Iran's Minister of Defense and Armed Forces' Logistics General Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar said today that the least violation of Iran's territorial integrity would be met with a crushing response.

"Though considering enemies' attempt as a psychological war to test public morale, Iranian armed forces are much powerful and would give a crushing response to the least violation of the country's territorial integrity," said Mohammad-Najjar today.

Mohammad-Najjar said complete security prevails over Persian Gulf as in other parts of the country.

He said on Sunday that Iran has reached a point to produce all facilities needed by the armed forces inside the country by the grace of God and thanks to efforts of Iranian experts.

Mohammad-Najjar was addressing local residents of the

southern Iranian city of Bandar Abbas, gathered to mark the 28th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979.

"Although we cannot announce all our achievements due to security reasons and preventing misuse of enemies, production of different anti-armour and surface-to-surface missiles with warheads and a range of 2,000 km are just parts of our defense capabilities," he said.

He added that every and each of Basiji (voluntary forces) is more valuable for the country than atomic bombs.

He pointed to strong support of the Iranian nation for continuation of peaceful nuclear activities through its massive participation in Bahman 22 rallies and said, "The great rallies of the Iranian nation is a symbol of its determination to achieve development and progress in all fields."
