IRGC Chief: No Retreat From Path of Progress
TEHRAN -- The IRGC
commander said Monday that the enemies are doing what they can to stop Iran’s progress, stressing that the Islamic Republic will not retreat from the path of progress it has stepped on since the 1979 revolution.
Major General Hussein Salami made the comments at a ceremony held here to appoint the new commander of IRGC Khatam al-Anbia Construction Base.
“Today, the enemy has brought all the pieces on its political chessboard altogether with all its might against the holy Islamic Republic of Iran and the glorious Revolution. The pieces are all working together and this means that this nation has grown very strong and resistant,” he said.
General Salami said all plots designed by the enemy have failed.
“None of the enemy’s dreams against us came true and what it thought about us returned to itself. The Iranian nation has shone and this shining continues,” he added.
The IRGC chief called for independence and relying on internal resources instead of looking toward the West, saying since the Islamic Revolution, Iran has relied on its own capabilities and this path will continue with might to gain more achievements.
