Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mohammad Ali Jafari ? Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari  head of Iranâs Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps   added that Iran had the capability to expand its missile range beyond that limit  the Washington Free Beacon reported  citing information from U.S. officials and regional reports.
The comments by  Jafari  appeared to be an effort by Iranian authorities to contrast their missile program  which they often describe as being for defensive purposes  against those of countries like North Korea  which has talked about launching missiles that can hit any U.S. city.
Speaking on the sidelines of a conference in Tehran   Jafari  told journalists that the capability of Iran's ballistic missiles was "enough for now. "
Jafari  said  he  didnât believe that the U.S. and Iran would go to war anytime soon  though some may question  his  reasoning.
Referring to the United States   he  said: "They know that if they begin a war between Iran and the United States  they will definitely be the main losers and their victory will by no means be guaranteed. Therefore  they won't start a war."
