A senior commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says Iran is prepared enough to strongly respond to any US action against the Islamic Republic.

“The US regularly expresses remarks which it is unable to realize... We are ready to give such a strong response to the slightest move by the US that it could not react,” Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi, IRGC Navy chief, said on Tuesday.

He noted that American officials keep claiming that all options are on the table in dealing with Iran although they know that the US is unable to confront Iran’s power and strength.

US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said on July 19 that a nuclear agreement between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries will not prevent Washington from using military force against Iran if it deems a military option necessary.

"One of the reasons why this deal is a good one is that it does nothing to prevent the military option," Carter told reporters on board his flight to Israel.

On July 14, Iran and the six world powers – the United States, Britain, France, China and Russia plus Germany – finalized the text of an agreement, dubbed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), in the Austrian capital of Vienna.

Fadavi further emphasized that military exercises conducted by the Iranian Armed Forces in recent years represents only the tip of the iceberg in Iran's military prowess.

In recent years, Iran has made major breakthroughs in its defense sector and attained self-sufficiency in producing important military equipment and systems.

Iran has also conducted other major military drills to enhance the defense capabilities of its armed forces and to test modern military tactics and state-of-the-art equipment.

Iran has announced time and again that its military might poses no threat to other countries, stating that its defense doctrine is merely based on deterrence.
