Iran to fire '11,000 rockets in minute' if attacked
Oct 20 07:28 AM US/Eastern
Iran warned on Saturday it would fire off 11,000 rockets at enemy bases
within the space of a minute if the United States launched military
action against the Islamic republic.
"In the first minute of an invasion by the enemy, 11,000 rockets and
cannons would be fired at enemy bases," said a brigadier general in the
elite Revolutionary Guards, Mahmoud Chaharbaghi.
"This volume and speed of firing would continue," added Chaharbaghi, who
is commander of artillery and missiles of the Guards' ground forces,
according to the semi-official Fars news agency.
The United States has never ruled out attacking Iran to end its defiance
over the controversial Iranian nuclear programme, which the US alleges
is aimed at making nuclear weapons but Iran insists is entirely peaceful.
Iran has for its part vowed never to initiate an attack but has also
warned of a crushing response to any act of aggression against its soil.
"If a war breaks out in the future, it will not last long because we
will rub their noses in the dirt," said Chaharbaghi.
