BREAKING : Responding to Trump, Iran threatens to Fire “Roaring Missiles”
A commander in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards has said the country would use missiles to defend itself from its “enemies”.
It followed hostile rhetoric from US President Donald Trump, after he said on Twitter that Iran was “playing with fire” and announced fresh sanctions on the country.
Head of the Revolutionary Guards’ aerospace unit, Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, told Tasnim news agency: “We are working day and night to protect Iran’s security.
“If we see smallest misstep from the enemies, our roaring missiles will fall on their heads.”
Iran responded to the new US sanctions – imposed because of the test firing of a ballistic missile – by announcing another military exercise using its missile and radar systems.
The Revolutionary Guards Sepahnews website said that the aim of the military exercise in Semnan province, central Iran, was to “showcase the power of Iran’s revolution and to dismiss the sanctions.”
Iranian state news agencies reported that home-made missile systems, radars, command and control centers, and cyber warfare systems will be tested in the drill.
The country also announced sanctions of its own against the US.
Although tensions between Washington and Tehran have risen, US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said he was not considering raising the number of US forces in the Middle East to address Iran’s “misbehaviour”, but warned that the world would not ignore the country’s activities.
As for Mr Trump’s comments that “nothing is off the table” in dealing with Tehran, the commander of Iran’s ground forces said that the country has been hearing such threats since its 1979 revolution.
“The defense capability and the offensive prowess of Iran’s armed forces would make America or any other enemy regretful of any incursion,” Ahmad Reza Pourdastan was quoted as saying by ISNA.

Let them then we can turn the ME into a glass parking lot and get rid of them all .
Annnnnd….our defenses will promptly shoot them down before they ever leave your airspace. What else ya got?
I can hear the Obamas now………Wouldn’t it be better to just give billions to Iran and educate their scientists ………
Being on a shaky ground—-with millions of unhappy Iranians with the regime —they need to save face with tough rhetorics!!
Despite what it has been seen on TV screen, the majority of Iranians are the most “pro America” population, in the Middle East. And those who are seen burning American flag and shouting death to America, can best be compared to Liberal’s “WELL ORGANIZED & SOME PAID” demonstrations, who do not represent the majority of Americans, regardless of their mass gatherings.
Our government is well aware of this sentiment (pro America feeling), therefore never thought to create hostility—among this particular population—was in our best interest.
Truly hope another “IRAQ”, with over a decade of cleaning up, will not be on horizon!!
In all fairness, Iranians tried to bring about a Regime Change, during Obama’s Adminstration, by shouting on the streets “OBAMA! ARE YOU WITH US OR NOT?”, but Mr. Obama chose to remain silent, the result: many killed, arrested, jailed and tortured.
MEANT: WELL ORGANIZED DEMONSTRATORS……
Just our Navy alone would evaporate Iran in 1 day.
Just explode one nuclear tipped cruise missile in the desert 50 miles outside of Tehran and those mullahs will be on their jets to Switzerland lickety split.
Mr. Trumps comments????? That is PRESIDENT TRUMP!!!! I am so freaking sick of all the disrespect!
