General: Iran will strike pre-emptively at foes
None
A semiofficial Iranian news agency quotes a senior military commander as saying that Tehran will strike pre-emptively at its enemies, if it feels it is in danger. The comments by deputy head of Iran's armed forces General Mohammed Hejazi were carried by Fars agency on Tuesday.
"We do not wait for enemies to take action against us," says Hejazi, who heads the military's logistical wing. "We will use all our means to protect our national interests." (AP)
