The Iranian ambassador to Lebanon says his country has the capability “to fire thousands of missiles at enemy bases in case of an attack against the Islamic Republic.”

According to Press TV, Ghazanfar Roknabadi said Iran is keeping a watchful eye on the slightest possibility of a military threat, and would fire 11,000 missiles into identified positions in the United States, Israel or their interests worldwide, should its nuclear installations come under attack.

He said Iran is following a defensive stance, stressing, however, that the country would respond with full force to any potential attack.

Iran’s Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi said earlier that “Israel will not have a minimal chance of survival after venturing a military attack against Iran, as Iranian armed forces will pound all of Israel with thousands of missiles.”
