the right of self defense

"Why is the Zionist regime making threats (against Iran)? How many
missiles
have they prepared themselves for? 10,000? 20,000? 50,000? 100,000?
150,000
or more?" the Iranian defense minister asked.

He advised the US and its allies to realize Iran's incredible might
and know
that in the event of a war the Islamic Republic will teach the
Americans
what war really is and what soldiers are supposed to be like.

Vahidi said Iranian armed forces will not hesitate to defend the
country's
sovereignty, adding that if the Zionist regime decides to carry out
its
threats against Iran, Basij forces will take out revenge [on the
entity] for
years of [the entity] bullying oppressed nations."

The United States and Israel have repeatedly threatened Tehran with
the
"option" of a military strike, based on the allegation that Iran's
nuclear
work may consist of a covert military agenda.

Iran has refuted the allegations, saying that as a signatory to the
nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the IAEA, it has the right to
develop and acquire nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.

While Israel refuses to allow inspections of its nuclear facilities or
to
join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty based on its policy of
nuclear
ambiguity, Iran has been subjected to snap International Atomic Energy
Agency inspections due to its policy of nuclear transparency.

Israel recently test fired a new long-range missile capable of
carrying
nuclear warheads.

This three-stage Jericho-3 missile, which is capable of delivering a
750-kilo warhead to a distance, is estimated to have a range of up to
10,000
kilometers. Paradoxically, Israel's new nuke-capable missile, which
can
target many parts of the globe, is not considered a threat in the eyes
of
the West.

Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi says Iran will teach
Israel a good lesson if the entity tries to attack the Islamic
Republic.

Vahidi said on Sunday that Israel will not have a minimal chance of
survival after venturing a military attack against Iran, as Iranian
armed forces will pound all of Israel with thousands of missiles, Fars
News Agency reported.

"The enemy must answer this question, if it attacks Iran, for how long
a battle and losing how many of its warships and vessels has it
prepared itself?"
