TEHRAN (Dispatches) – Deputy head of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Hussein Salami said on Sunday Iran’s armed forces are fully prepared to counter foreign threats "at any level”.
"Today, Iran has reached a stage in which it has forced the enemy to retreat from the strategic region,” Salami said. "The enemy’s regional influence is gone, while the influence and power of Iran has grown steadily in the region,” he added.
The commander said the U.S. is politically isolated and numerous alliances are emerging against it where many former friends of the Americans are confronting Washington today.
"As Leader of the Islamic Revolution (Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei) has said, we will witness heavier defeats of the arrogant front,” Salami said.
The Leader highlighted Iran’s regional achievements and the defeat of the hegemonic powers in September, saying the Islamic Republic’s powerful resistance has caused U.S. goals in the region to remain abortive.
"The world’s political and intelligent analysts are stunned and acknowledge the fact that Iran, by relying on God and counting on national power, has defeated the world powers in the region,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.
The Leader cited Syria, Iraq and Lebanon as the examples of the failure of U.S. conspiracies in the region and said they are signs of God's power and the realization of God's promises that if you assist God, God will help you succeed and persist.
