Senior Iranian commander said Iran is resolved to boost its defensive power in a bid to bolster the country's deterrent capabilities against a possible enemy attack. "The more progress we make in defense, naturally the more deterrence we will have against the enemy," Deputy Head of the Joint Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri said Saturday. "The Islamic Republic of Iran's defense doctrine tries to provide broad defense for the country's ground, air and sea borders," he noted. He stated that a higher deterrent power will increase enemies' losses even in case of limited wars. Jazayeri further warned about the severe consequences of any new conflict in the region, and stated, "Of course, we assume that if a new war erupts in the region, it will not be a limited war and will leave many negative consequences." "Accordingly, any move towards deterrence is a positive step," the commander noted. Jazayeri further underscored that Iran's deterrent capability covers an area far beyond the region. In August 2010, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei warned the US against the grave consequences of any military aggression against Iran, stressing that Tehran's response to such an attack will not be limited to Washington's interests in the region. "The Americans' resorting to military attack is a remote possibility, but if so, Iranians' counter-attack will not be merely regional, but covering a vaster scene," Ayatollah Khamenei said at the time.
