"Today the air defense is so strong and is able to monitor moves
and flights even beyond borders," Commander of the Air Defense Unit in
Eastern Iran Malek Ali Asadi-Fard told reporters on Thursday.
He stressed high security in Iran's Eastern airspace, and noted,
"The air defense unit of the Eastern region will confront enemies with
full power and high insight and will not allow aggression against the
Islamic country."
In similar remark on Wednesday, a senior Iranian air defense
commander underlined that the country's Armed Forces are fully capable
of repelling enemy threats, adding that Iranian air defense units are
closely monitoring US bases in the region round the clock.
"At present, we are monitoring all military bases around Iran 24
hours a day. Also, any flying object which enters Iranian airspace is
monitored by Air Defense forces," Commander of the Air Defense Unit in
Northeastern Iran General Abdollah Reshadi told reporters on Wednesday.
"We even have the statistical data of the enemies' aircraft in their bases across region," Reshadi stated.
Earlier, Commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force Brigadier General
Amir Ali Hajizadeh said that the IRGC has detailed contingency plans to
hit 35 US bases in the region in the early minutes of a possible
conflict.
"We have thought of measures to set up bases and deploy missiles to
destroy all these bases in the early minutes after an attack," Hajizadeh
said at the time, referring to Iran's contingency plans for any
potential confrontation with the US.
He said that the US has 35 bases around Iran, and stated, "All these
bases are within the reach of our missiles. Meantime, the occupied
(Palestinian) lands (Israel) are good targets for us as well."
The Islamic Republic's top military officials have repeatedly warned
that in case of an attack by either the US or Israel, the country would
target all American bases in the Middle East and close the strategic
Strait of Hormuz.
