“Today, enemies have waged soft and economic wars [against Iran but] they will be defeated in these spheres again,” Sayyari was quoted by Mehr News Agency as saying in the southern Iranian port city of Bushehr on Wednesday.

He noted that the Islamic Republic enjoys a special position in the world which does not allow any country to even think about attacking it.

The Navy commander emphasized that Iranian Armed Forces have dramatically increased the country’s military power and have proven Iran’s grandeur and might.

At the beginning of 2012, the United States and the EU approved new sanctions against Iran’s oil and financial sectors. The embargoes aim to prevent other countries from purchasing Iranian oil or transacting with the Central Bank of Iran.

The US sanctions took effect on June 28, while the US-engineered EU oil ban against Iran was enforced as of July 1.

Washington and the EU claim that the bans are meant to pressure the Islamic Republic to give up its nuclear energy program, which they claim includes a military component.

Iran dismisses the charge, arguing that as a committed signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, it is entitled to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
