TEHRAN (Iran News) – While the November 29 is approaching and everybody is waiting for the resumption of the nuclear talks between the Islamic Republic of Iran and P4+1, the West led by the U.S. has begun making fuss and sometimes it is barking to frighten the Islamic Republic of Iran in order to corner the country for getting more unilateral concessions but they have forgotten that the Islamic Republic of Iran now has upper hand against them and it will not repeat the same mistake that it committed in 2015 and during its pro-West government.
Every day the U.S. and sometimes some European officials resort to bullying Iran but they have forgotten this fact that Iran has turned into a powerful regional country and it can defend itself strongly against any vicious act from them either militarily or economically.
Americans threaten Iran with different options on the table essentially with military one but at the same time they acknowledge that Iran is a powerful country in terms of defensive and attacking military power.
On Wednesday once again one of the American senior military officials admitted that Iran has progressed amazingly in military field and to some extent he said it will be tough to mess with this powerful country in the West Asia.
The commander of U.S. Central Command has acknowledged the significant progress that Iran has made in its ballistic missile capabilities in recent years, saying Tehran’s precision-guided missile attack on the U.S.-run Ain al-Assad air base in Iraq last year is proof of the advancement.
“The one thing the Iranians have done over the last three to five years is they built a very capable ballistic missile platform,” General Kenneth McKenzie told TIME magazine.
In January 2020, Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) launched a barrage of ballistic missiles at two U.S.-run bases in Iraq as part of its promised revenge days after the US military assassinated its Quds Force Commander Lieutenant General Soleimani in Baghdad. Iran called the IRGC’s strikes “Operation Martyr Soleimani.”
The missiles targeted an airbase in Iraq’s Erbil as well as the Ain al-Asad airbase in the Arab country’s western province of Anbar, in what Tehran described as a “first slap.”
“Those missiles hit within tens of meters of their targets,” McKenzie claimed, noting that Iran’s missiles have a proven capability to strike targets with precision.
According to the US Defense Department, more than 100 American forces suffered “traumatic brain injuries” during the counterstrike on the US base. Iran, however, says Washington uses the term to mask the number of the Americans who perished during the retaliation.
Elsewhere in his remarks, the American general also said the Islamic Republic had not made the decision to build a nuclear warhead, but voiced concerns about Iran’s nuclear energy program’s progress
“They’re very close this time,” McKenzie claimed. “I think they like the idea of being able to breakout.”
Throughout the years, Iran has repeatedly reassured the world, in particular its neighbors, that its nuclear program is for purely peaceful purposes and that it has no intention of developing nuclear weapons.
By the way the top U.S. commander in the Middle East repeated the same nonsense that political officials of his country say and threatened that his forces stood ready with a potential military option should the talks to restore the deal fail.
It seems he has very soon repeated the slaps hit by the Islamic Republic of Iran at the face of the American forces.
Last Sunday IRGC Navy Commander Admiral Alireza Tangsiri said that there have been numerous one-on-one clashes between Iran and the U.S. in the Persian Gulf, but many were not reported.
The commander went on to say, “Of course, Iran’s advantages have caused the Americans to be greedy for the vast resources of this region and to always come to the Persian Gulf with great costs and hardships.”
“We have slapped the Americans on the number of martyrs of the IRGC navy in a direct battle with the United States in the Persian Gulf, although the reports of many Iranian-American clashes in the Persian Gulf have not been released,” the commander stated.
Tangsiri elaborated by saying that the IRGC navy has lost 9 servicemen in direct battles with the Americans to defend the Iranian territory in the Persian Gulf.
The Iranian commander once again revealed the weakness and haplessness of the Americans and he showed that Iranian nation should not be worried about the U.S. threat of military attack because they do not dare to do so because all of the Western countries are not in a condition to start another war with any country because any war in the West Asia will be like pouring oil on the fire of their fragile economies regardless of suffering losses in the battlefield.
Everybody is well aware that sanctions are the only weapon of the West against Iran and a strong determination by the Iranians can steer them to victory over the sanctions as the Americans have recently admitted repeatedly sanctions have been unable to stop the Islamic Republic of Iran’s progress.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has always been supporting dialogues but it is not ready to accept excessive demands of any country, no matter who will be this excessive demander. So it is better the West to come to its senses regarding its arrogant behavior against Iranians because this country has found its path towards progress and of course as the proverb says, “No Pain, No Gain.”
