Tehran: The commander of Iran´s Revolutionary Guards warned Saturday that any country that attacks the Islamic republic will see its territory turn into the conflict´s "main battlefield".

"Whoever wants their land to become the main battlefield, go ahead," Guards commander Hossein Salami told a news conference in Tehran. "We will never allow any war to encroach upon Iran´s territory."

"We hope that they don´t make a strategic mistake" as they have before, Salami said, before listing past US military "adventures" against Iran.
