The Iranian Revolutionary Guards are ready to attack "terrorist" US ships if they make hostile maneuvers. General Hossein Salami, quoted by Tehran television, said this in a mirror response to the words of American President Donald Trump, who yesterday had threatened to eliminate Iranian warships from the Gulf if they had carried out hostile actions against American ones. "We will vigorously resist threats to our national security and territorial integrity," added Salami. "We are determined to develop our defensive capabilities on land, at sea and in space, and we will never stop," said the Pasdaran chief, referring to the launch of the first Iranian military satellite, which sparked protests in Washington. . "We are determined to defend our national security, our territorial waters, our maritime interests and our military and commercial fleets and, if the US threatens them, they will suffer our swift and decisive response," concluded the general. . After the launch of the first nationally produced military satellite, the Nour-1, in orbit, Iran is preparing to reveal "new surprises". The secretary of the Tehran Supreme National Security Council, Rear Admiral Ali Shamkhani, quoted by the agency said
Tasnim. The US reacted harshly to the launch of the Nour-1. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo claimed that Tehran "will have to
account for it. "
