Tehran: A senior commander of Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard
says the country will target NATO’s missile defense shield in
Turkey if the US or Israel attacks the Islamic Republic.
Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the head of the Guards’ aerospace
division, is quoted by the semiofficial Mehr news agency as saying
the warning is part of a new defense strategy to counter what it
sees as an increase in threats from the US and Israel.
"Iran will now respond to threats with threats rather than a
defensive position", news agency Associated Press quoted the Iranian General Ali as saying.
Tehran says NATO’s early warning radar station in Turkey is meant
to protect Israel against Iranian missile attacks if a war breaks
out with Israel.
Turkey agreed to host the radar in September as part of NATO’s
missile defense system.
