Any enemy miscalculation will be met with ‘unprecedented’ response: Iran army chief
Army’s Chief Commander Major General Amir Hatami has warned that Iran is fully prepared to confront any hostile action, stressing that if the enemies make a mistake, they will “face a response unlike anything they have ever seen or experienced.”
Major General Hatami was speaking on Tuesday at a meeting between senior Iranian Army commanders and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on the eve of the 47th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution.
He underscored the close integration of defense and diplomacy in safeguarding Iran’s national interests.
According to Hatami, defense and diplomacy are “not only interdependent but are essentially one and the same thing operating effectively against a defiant enemy that seeks to undermine the interests of the Iranian nation.”
He expressed optimism that, with full coordination between the two, the country’s officials will be able to fully safeguard the rights of the nation.

“We, as the army of the Islamic Republic of Iran, are fully prepared, and we know that the enemy only understands the language of power,” he said, adding that the Armed Forces are now at a higher level of defensive readiness.
“If they commit any miscalculation,” he warned, “they will undoubtedly receive a response that they have neither seen nor experienced before.”
His remarks came amid a significant US military buildup in the region, with Washington threatening Iran with military action even amid renewed nuclear talks hosted by Oman.
Back in June last year, the Israeli regime initiated a 12-day war against Iran despite ongoing negotiations between American and Iranian officials aimed at resolving outstanding issues through diplomacy.
Although the US also joined the war against Iran, Israel was ultimately compelled to ask for a ceasefire due to the Iranian armed forces’ powerful retaliatory operations.
Araghchi, for his part, said that Iran engages in diplomatic arenas with the confidence provided by the strength of its armed forces.
He noted that this military power has already deterred enemies from considering any military options against the country and will continue to do so in the future.
Araghchi emphasized that Iran’s ability to act with authority in diplomacy and pursue national interests is reinforced by the reassurance that the armed forces prevent any foreign encroachment on the nation’s land, air, and sea.
