Tehran, Iran, May 04 – A senior Iranian military commander said on Thursday that no country would dare attack the Islamic Republic since Iran had “scientific knowledge” about the “enemies’ weak points”.

“With the scientific knowledge obtained about the enemies’ weak points, no country would dare or has the capability to attack Iran”, Chief of the army’s Ground Forces, Brigadier General Mohammad-Hossein Dadress, said. His comments were reported by the state-run news agency Fars.

In April, Dadress said that Iran’s missile capabilities would guarantee its “national interests”.

“We do not need foreign support. We have an adequate missile capability which can guarantee our national interests”, the general said.

The United Nations Security Council has called on Tehran to abandon its suspected nuclear weapons program.

Since hard-liner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took office as president, Tehran has escalated its war of words with the United States in its nuclear standoff.
