Iran integral part of regional security

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Iranian Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli warned of attempts to distort regional security, describing Iran as the guardian of security in the region.

"Security in the region is integrated. Security of one or two countries cannot be distorted without leaving impacts on this integrity. Given the existence of energy (in the region) and its effect on the international security and relations, any incident in the region can create problem in the integrity of security and will certainly affect the international security," Rahmani Fazli said on Monday.

He noted that all analysts and governments are aware that they should act in a way that this integrity of security will not be damaged, adding, "Of course, Iran has always seen itself as the guardian of security in the region and has acted actively in the security, defensive and political relations in the region."

Rahmani Fazli said that Iran has dedicated the largest number of lives to the campaign against terrorism, specially the ISIL, and has always complied with its undertakings.

His remarks came days after Commander of Iran's Army Major General Abdolrahim Moussavi warned enemies against any strategic mistake against the country, warning of a crushing response.

"Thanks God, today, all army units enjoy high morale and full combat preparedness and if the enemy makes a miscalculation or strategic mistake, they will receive a response which makes them regret," General Moussavi said, addressing the Army commanders in Tehran on Saturday.

He underlined the importance of vigilance and preparedness of Army units as a deterrence against the enemy threats, and assured the nation that his forces will defend the country's security and interests to the last drop of their blood.

Also, last Wednesday, Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Hossein Salami underlined that the enemies of Iran had exhausted all their attempts to defeat the country but in vain, adding that they had reached the end of line.

"Our enemies have reached the end of the line" and despite their ostentatious appearance, they are suffering from "osteoporosis", General Salami said, addressing the IRGC commanders.

"This is the most decisive moment for the Islamic Revolution, because the enemy has come to the battlefield with all of its capacities at its disposal," he added.

General Salami also warned that Iran is "on the verge of a full-scale confrontation" with the enemies," adding that they are trying to crush the Iranian nation's resistance through "the strategy of maximum pressure and by using all of their capacities".

However, they will fail once again to achieve their goal, he stressed.
