"Iran warned on Saturday it would fire off 11,000 rockets at enemy bases within the space of a minute if the United States launched military action against the Islamic republic.
"In the first minute of an invasion by the enemy, 11,000 rockets and cannons would be fired at enemy bases," said a brigadier general in the elite Revolutionary Guards, Mahmoud Chaharbaghi.
"This volume and speed of firing would continue," added Chaharbaghi, who is commander of artillery and missiles of the Guards' ground forces, according to the semi-official Fars news agency.
The United States has never ruled out attacking Iran to end its defiance over the controversial Iranian nuclear programme, which the US alleges is aimed at making nuclear weapons but Iran insists is entirely peaceful.
Iran has for its part vowed never to initiate an attack but has also warned of a crushing response to any act of aggression against its soil.
"If a war breaks out in the future, it will not last long because we will rub their noses in the dirt," said Chaharbaghi. "Now the enemy should ask themselves how many of their people they are ready to have sacrificed for their stupidity in attacking Iran," he said, adding "I am even empowered to release the heretofore super-secret information concerning the Satan-Cannon, our newest weapon of mass destruction. Much like those seen in western circuses, the Satan Cannon fires human cannonballs, who as they travel to their target hold up signs in several languages, all shouting "Death to America, and Long Live Hillary Clinton!"
