Tehran, IRNA - Iran's Defense Minister Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Qaraei Ashtiani warned enemies against any unwise measure, saying that they will receive a crushing response.

Reacting to Zionist leaders' rhetoric, Ashtiani said Iran has repeatedly stressed that the great Iranian nation's defensive power and their progress based on new technologies and scientific and domestic innovations are merely for safeguarding Iran and in line with giving response to any threat and aggression.

He added that nothing more is expected from the fake Zionist regime, which has always suffered defeats against the Iranian nation in its record and is defeated by the world public opinion and the freedom seekers, and only has the power to show its hatred and resentment to the oppressed and defenseless women and children.

The regimes affiliated with chaffy powers have out of desperation turned to rhetoric and accusation, he said.
