Iran Speaks to Oppressors with Language of Power, Says IRGC Chief
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said the Islamic Republic of Iran is a strong country that will pursue and punish all enemies.
Speaking at a conference on Wednesday, Major General Hossein Salami said today Iran is a “strong, secure, and proud country” that speaks to the oppressors with the language of power, not words.
“We will pursue and punish all enemies and take revenge; pursuing and punishing enemies and taking revenge is a reality we have tested many times over the past 45 years,” he said.
“Whenever Islam shone and grew, the infidels, polytheists, and hypocrites stood against it, and the field of jihad was formed. Today is no different,” teh senior commander stated said, Press TV reported.
“Iran and the Islamic Ummah will remain, and the enemies of Islam will leave the Islamic lands in disgrace, just as it happened in Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, and other places."
He also said the Palestinian people will soon taste sweet victory, and Israel and its allies will soon taste revenge for their wickedness.
“Today we see the resistance of the people in Gaza; it appears painful, but it will become the secret of the Palestinians' endurance. They will soon taste sweet victory and they (Israelis) will soon taste the revenge for their wickedness,” Major General Salami stated.
The general made the remarks amid anticipation of Iranian retaliation in the wake of the Israeli assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in late July. Iran has vowed to take revenge but at a time and manner of its choosing.
