Three measures are in store to counter any potential aggression against the country: Senior Iranian Army Official. Tehran, August 18, 2010 (Hamsayeh.Net) - One of Iran’s senior military officials has warned of stern retaliatory measures against the enemies should any of them venture upon launching an aerial attack against Iranian nuclear facilities, Mehr news Agency reported yesterday. Head of the Operation Department of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Brigadier General Ali Shademani told reporters, ‘The country's armed forces which are under the (Islamic Revolution) Leader's command are in the highest state of preparedness.’ Shademani said Iran has the wherewithal to counter enemy attacks and he summed up a three-pronged strategy that would render the country’s enemies totally helpless. According to Shademani, the first measure would be to take a full and long-lasting control over the strategic Hormuz Straight by Iran. Such a measure if implemented would make free movements impossible through the narrow channel for unknown periods. The second measure he explained would be overseeing and keeping a close watch over American military bases inside Afghanistan and Iraq. ‘With the slightest move against Iran, we will paralyze the troops stationed in those bases and won't allow them to make any move.’ The General said. And the third measure would be to disturb peace and tranquility in Israel, which is known as the closest ally of the United States. ‘The US and Israel well know that we can do it,’ the General added. Meanwhile, yesterday, former Bush administration officials and a staunch supporter of US aggressions against other nations, John Bolton in an interview with FOX Business said Israel has only 8 days left to launch a military attack against Iranian nuclear installations. The reason he cited was the opening of Iran’s first nuclear reactor in Bushehr by the end of this week. According to Bolton, once nuclear fuel rods are placed inside the core of this reactor it would be impossible then to ever attack Bushehr in the future lest radioactive material spread across a vast area.
