Tehran, February 5 (Xinhua) — Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) unveiled a new underground missile base on Wednesday amid tensions with the United States, the Fars news agency reported.
The base was unveiled during a visit by Chief of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Abdolrahim Mousavi and Commander of the IRGC Aerospace Forces Majid Mousavi.
They assessed the combat capability and operational readiness of the IRGC missile units. The military briefed the arriving troops on the strategic unit's progress and readiness, Fars reports.
"We are prepared for any action by our enemies. Furthermore, following the 12-day war (with Israel last June), we shifted our military doctrine from defensive to offensive, based on conducting lightning-fast, large-scale operations using asymmetric warfare and devastating military strategies," said A. Mousavi.
His statements came amid continuing tensions with the United States over the increased American military presence near Iran. Washington has threatened Tehran that it risks attack if it refuses to sign the deal.
On Sunday, A. Mousavi warned that Iran's response to any US mistake would provoke a regional war, IRNA reported. "The slightest mistake will give Iran free rein… Then no American will be safe, and the fire in the region will consume the United States and its allies," he said.
