Top Iranian military official Brig. Gen. Ali Shademani

A senior Iranian military official says Iran will take full control of the Strait of Hormuz should Washington opt to launch aggression against Iran.

“The country’s armed forces which are under the (Islamic Revolution) Leader’s command are in the highest state of preparedness.” head of the Operations Department of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Ali Shademani was quoted by Mehr News Agency as saying on Tuesday.

“Three measures are in store to counter any potential aggression against the country”, he said.

“The first action would be to take full control of the Strait of Hormuz whereby we wouldn’t allow any move by anybody”, the top military official underlined.

He said the enemy ‘will be brought to its knees’ as soon as it makes a move.

As for the second measure, General Shademani said, “We are keeping a close watch on all American military bases in Afghanistan and Iraq.”

“With the slightest move against Iran, we will paralyze the troops stationed in those bases and won’t allow them to make any move.” he stressed.

The top general also elaborated on the third plan.

“Israel is the United States’ backyard”, he highlighted, “So we will disturb the peace there.”

“The US and Israel well know that we can do it”, he added.

  1. Personally I say the USA should rather think more than twice before they even think of attacking Iran!. Any way the USA mostly only attacks the unarmed and weakened countries. Just look at there history from WW2 onwards. If they are not in a 100% absolute strong position the don’t attack. I don’t think Iran should worry to much about the USA attacking them. :)

  2. It is no secret that the Iranian defense is asymmetric. For the cost of one US aircraft carrier, many more supersonic missiles can be produced, than are required to sink the entire NATO fleet :-D
    So it’s rather unlikely the Iranian general is bluffing.
