PanARMENIAN.Net - Brigadier General Alireza Tanehi of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of the Iranian Armed Forces has warned Azerbaijan that any step against Iran will receive a decisive reaction, Armenpress reports.

The IRGC general made the remarks earlier this week in his speech on the the anniversary of Major-General Qasem Soleimani’s assassination.

“The Republic of Azerbaijan should not repeat the mistakes of Ukraine and Saddam [Hussein] and should know that the Islamic Republic of Iran, as a powerful country in the region, will never allow its borders to be endangered,” the Iranian general said, ISNA reports.

He added that any step aimed at jeopardizing Iran and its adjacent areas will receive a decisive response by the Iranian military.
