Pittsburgh Star (IANS) Sunday 5th February, 2012

Iran will strike back at any location from where attacks against it are mounted, Fars news agency quoted a senior military commander as saying Sunday.

"Any location which is used by the enemy for raids against the Islamic republic will be targeted by the IRGC forces," Xinhua quoted Fars citing Hossein Salami, the deputy head of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).

Salami made the remarks during IRGC's ongoing military drills near Iran's southern waters.

On Saturday, the IRGC announced that the country started "Hamiane Velayat" (supporters of Velayat) military drills in southern Iran.
