Major General Mousavi (Iranian military rank): America, by attacking Iran, has freed the hands of the Armed Forces to take any necessary action.
Chief of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces: The United States, in continued all-out support of the savage and aggressive Zionist regime, has blatantly and directly violated the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic, entered into war, and encroached upon the sacred soil of our country.
The criminal America must know that while we punish Israel, this has freed the hands of the warriors of Iran within the Armed Forces to take any action against U.S. interests and military forces. Under no circumstances will we back down from this position.
