Iran and the United States are in a state of long-term geopolitical confrontation. Iran has previously attacked targets in Iraqi Kurdistan, linking them with American influence.
TEHRAN, Oct 7 - RIA Novosti. Iran, if necessary, can preemptively attack the enemy, said Iranian army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia.
“If necessary, we will carry out preventive operations to prevent the enemy from carrying out any kind of aggression and encroachment against Iran,” he told Fars.
The army spokesman added that Iran, during the conflict with the United States, carried out preventive attacks, including on “separatist” bases in Iraqi Kurdistan, which, according to him, the American side provided with weapons, as well as on US bases where preparations were underway for operations against Iran.
In addition, Akraminia emphasized that Tehran is constantly updating the list of targets in the event of a continuation of the conflict with Washington.
At the same time, he believes that the United States will not undertake a ground operation against Iran.
“I think that the Americans will not dare to carry out ground aggression. However, if such a situation does happen and the American aggressors set foot on the territory of Iran, no matter whether it is the coastal zone or the islands, then they will become much more vulnerable,” Akraminia noted.
The military man stressed that Iran is ready for any development of the situation in light of the conflict with the United States and inflicting an even more large-scale, crushing, quick and decisive response on the enemy, expressing confidence that the American military will collapse.
