Iran Managing Confrontation with Enemy – Lieutenant Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Hossein Salami downplayed enemies’ threats, and said the country has managed to confront the enemy in a vast stretch of land upto the Eastern Mediterranean.
“We have now managed to extend the confrontation front with the global powers to the Eastern Mediterranean and we are also managing the battle there which shows the divine power and fake nature of the enemy’s power,” General Salami said, addressing a conference in the Eastern city of Mashhad on Wednesday.
He noted that Iran has learnt that it should not rely on the oppressors, and said, “We have gone as far as the Mediterranean, but our movement differs from the enemy’s.”
Meantime, General Salami pointed to the US failed strategy in the region, and said, “One day they support Daesh (the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) against Syria and the other day they are forced to confront Daesh due to their wrong strategy.”
He reiterated that the entire world knows that the demise of the US is imminent and this is while Washington intended to conquer the world with (its mottos about) democracy, human rights and freedom.
“What has defeated the West today is our logic and faith not the hardware,” General Salami added.
In April 2013, General Salami announced that the country has stretched its security borders to the East Mediterranean.
“We have extended our security borders to the East Mediterranean and their (the enemies’) deceptive ploys failed to stop our movement,” the IRGC commander said at the time.
