The missile capabilities of our armed forces is such that the Zionist regime, with all its capabilities, would not be able to confront it," he added.Jafari was quoted by Iran's Mehr News Agency.The Guards are an ideologically motivated arm of Iran's military with an independent command structure to the regular armed forces. They have their own land, sea and air units. "The Israelis know that if they take action against Iran definitely the capabilities that the Islamic world and especially the Shi'ite world has in the region would deliver a hard blow to them," Jafari said.He did not mention any names but Iran's regional allies include Lebanon's Shi'ite Muslim militia Hezbollah and the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
