Iranian ex-Defense Minister vows full-scale war in case of attack

Former Iranian Defense Minister Rear Admiral Ali Shamkhani said Iran will “rebuff an Israeli aggression with a full-scale and long-term response.”

"Iran never hits the first strike and never initiates war, but in case of aggression, Iran's reaction will not be one-shot," Shamkhani, who heads the Center for Strategic Defense now, told Fars News Agency on Wednesday, Aug 22.

"They can test it and watch its result," Shamkhani said.
