Tehran Prov, Sept 22 - Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) brigadier general Yahya Rahim-Safavi said here Monday that Iran will not let any power to bully it or launch an aggression against it.
Rahim Safavi, talking to reporters on the sideline of a special ceremony involving the parade of military units, said the Shahab-3 Missile displayed during the ceremony along with other modern equipment on Monday showed Iran's deterrence capability.
"Undoubtedly, world powers have came to understanding that Iran with its high military potentials attaches importance to peace in the region and the world and will never tolerate bullying," he added.
"New security situation in the Persian Gulf created by the US and British forces as well as pressures exerted on Iran over the NPT issue have caused the Iranian armed forces to show their readiness to defend national sovereignty with more vigor and sensitivity,"Rahim Safavi said.
