Unic Press UK: One of the commanders of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), Brigadier General Amirali Hajizadeh, has issued a stern warning to all enemies of the Iranian nation, saying that the Islamic Republic will react/respond with a series of roaring missiles to any hostile acts from its adversaries.
“With the knowledge I have about the capabilities of the (Iranian) Armed Forces and about ourselves, I’d say with confidence that foreign threats against the Islamic Establishment (of Iran) are futile. Should the enemy make a mistake, our roaring missiles will rain down on them.” (Hajizadeh was quoted by Tasnim News Agency on 4/02/2017)
The comments by Hajizadeh were a response to the reaction of the United States after the Iranian nation had, on 29th January 2017, successfully test-fired a medium-range ballistic missile.
The U.S. had imposed a series of new sanctions on Iran on 3rd February 2017 for Iran’s recent missile by sanctioning twenty-five individuals and entities that provide support to Iran’s ballistic missile program and to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force.
Also, U.S. president Donald Trump issued a warning to Iran on his twitter account:
Iran is playing with fire – they don't appreciate how "kind" President Obama was to them. Not me!

Iran insists that its missile test on 29th January 2017 did not violate United Nations Resolution 2231 (2015).
“The recent test has been in line with our [defense] program, and we do not let any foreigner intervene in our defense affairs… The test is in no way in contravention of Resolution 2231… We have always stated that we never abandon developing and reinforcing our defense foundation in line with our interests”, said Iran’s Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan on Wednesday, the 1st February 2017.
