The commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps said on Tuesday that the country has identified U.S. weak points in Iraq and Afghanistan, Iran's state broadcasting organization IRIB reported on its website.
"All weak points of the enemy of Islamic Revolution in Iraq and in Afghanistan have been located and on the basis of these weak points the country's defensive fundamentals have been strengthened," General Mohammad Ali Jaafari said.
The commander made the remarks at the end of the three-day nation-wide annual gathering of the commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.
"In case the enemy wants to do any bold action the Iranians will give a strong and teeth-breaking response," Jaafari said.
He noted that the Revolutionary Guards and the Basij militia force, which is subordinate to the Revolutionary Guards, will remain the supporters of the Iranian revolution and the system.
The United States has been seeking to impose tougher sanctions on Iran through the UN Security Council on the grounds that Tehran is developing a nuclear weapon program under the guise of a civilian-use program.
Iran has insisted that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes and voiced hope for talks to defuse the nuclear standoff.
The United States has never ruled out military action against Iranian targets for Tehran's suspicious nuclear programs.
