Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the
IRGC’s Aerospace Division, made the remarks on the sidelines of ceremonies to
celebrate Eid al-Fitr.
“The Americans have 10 military bases in the region,
particularly around Iran and 50,000 troops” are deployed in these based,
Hajizadeh said, according to Press TV.
“This means they are sitting in a glass house; and when one
sits in a glass house, he does not throw stones at others.”
The top IRGC’s comment come after threats by US President Donald
Trump to bomb Iran if it refuses to reach "a new deal" on its nuclear
program.
On Sunday, Trump said Iran will be bombed if it does not
make a deal with the United States.
“If they don’t make a deal, there will be bombing,” he said
in an interview with NBC News. He also threatened to punish Iran with what he
called “secondary tariffs.”
In a post on his X account on Monday, Iranian Foreign
Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said Trump’s open threat of “bombing” the
country is an affront to global peace and security.
“An open threat of ‘bombing’ by a Head of State against Iran
is a shocking – affront ‑ to the very essence of International Peace and
Security,” Baghaei wrote.
