IRGC Chief: Enemies Fearful of War with Iran
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s deterrence power has reached such a high level that has dismayed the enemies and has made them afraid of taking any military action, Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Hossein Salami said.
In an address to a meeting of IRGC personnel on Wednesday, General Salami said Iran’s growing power has blocked the way for any hostile military action against the country.
Dismissing concerns that the refusal to hold negotiations with the US would lead to a war, the general said Iran dismantled the components of the enemy’s power and policies in such a way that the adversaries are afraid of even thinking about a war against Iran.
“In the current circumstances, this is the enemies that are worried about the outbreak of a war, and these concerns are obvious in their physical and tactical behavior,” he added.
The top commander also stressed the need for devising formulas for defeating the enemy’s scenarios, adding that Iran’s great deterrence power has neutralized the US psychological warfare.
Iranian military and political officials have repeatedly warned the White House rulers against the dire consequences of a military action against the Islamic Republic.
In comments in April 2018, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said the US is aware of the crushing response it will have to face in case of taking military action against Iran.
The era of hit and run is now over, and the US knows that if it gets entangled in military action against Iran, it will receive much harsher blows, Ayatollah Khamenei underlined.
The US is seeking a way to evade the costs of standing against Iran and place them on regional countries, the Leader said, reminding certain regional countries that if they confront Iran, “they will definitely suffer blows and defeat”.
