Iranian Officials Respond to Deployment of U.S. Defense System in Gulf

Iranian military sources told a Lebanese website that about 180,000 U.S. troops were within the range of Iran's fire, and that the resistance forces in Iran, Lebanon, Iraq, Palestine and Afghanistan were ready to confront the U.S. and Israel.

In response to America's deployment of anti-missile defense systems in the Gulf states, Tehran IRGC commander Hossein Hamedani said that the message of the Revolution Day celebrations to the "Global Arrogance" (i.e., the West headed by the U.S.) is that the revolution's fourth generation would fight even more fiercely that the first.
