An Iranian military commander said plans by the United States to attack Iran were a “joke,” the news network Press TV reported Monday.
Admiral Mike Mullen, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, told CNN on Sunday that the US has been mulling military options against Iran, adding he would not believe “for a second” Tehran was using its nuclear plants for civilian purposes.

“This is a joke,” General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, commander the Basij militia, told Press TV. “for 30 years the US has been dreaming (of an attack), hopefully they will wake up,” he said.
“They would not be able to move an inch as the Basij forces would surround them anywhere,” he added.
Although the US has pursued diplomatic negotiations and put international pressure on Iran in the dispute over the Islamic republic’s nuclear programmes, Washington not ruled out military options.
Tehran’s rulers regard US threats as psychological warfare to make them compromise in the nuclear dispute.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned repeatedly that in case of US aggression against Iran, it would “reply with no limit making the other side regret its actions.”
