DUBAI (Reuters) - The commander of Iran's elite revolutionary guards force, Mohammad Jafari, has suggested the nation's foreign minister stay out of military affairs in a growing debate over comments by the minister that indicated Iran was weak.

Last week Mohammad Javad Zarif was quoted by local media as saying the West had little fear of Iran's military defences and could destroy them if it wished, although Zarif has said his statement was skewed and taken out of context.
