Mehr News Agency – Chief Commander of IRGC Major General Hossein Salami said that Iran’s power has gone way beyond the imagination of its enemies. “Iran’s power is unknown and unimaginable to enemies … today, enemies know about a small section of our power while the reality is hidden,” he said Wednesday in a local ceremony in Tehran. “Our power has expanded from the East of Mediterranean to the north of the Red Sea and it chases the enemy anywhere. Foundations of Iran’s power have become so enormous that enemies no longer can ignore it in their calculations,” said IRGC’s first-in-command, adding, “This power is so great that when Ansarullah acts against the enemy, they think we were behind it; Ansarullah is a branch of the Revolution’s power that has evolved.”
He went on to say that Iranian forces are not afraid of enemies, adding that Iran is ‘brave enough’ to accept responsibility for its acts. “We are powerful to tell the world which stands against us that ‘do not do something which would unlock our stored energy’. So do not make emotional decisions like the false statement of the three European countries.” warned Salami.
He described the E3 statement as ‘hasty’, saying that enemies are seeking to take advantage of UNGA’s opportunity and initiate another psychological war against Iran. In their statement, European signatories to Iran nuclear deal – France, Germany, UK – accused Iran of being behind attacks on Saudi oil facilities while Yemen’s Ansarullah has already accepted the responsibility.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has turned into a powerful actor in the regional equations and security arrangements, Major General Salami added, stressing that Tehran has gained such valuable experiences over the past four decades that would brook no threat to its security.
In comments over the security of the western borders, the IRGC chief gave an assurance that full security prevails along the country’s boundaries, saying the military forces vigilantly counter any threat against Iran’s sovereignty and security. He said IRGC’s strategic might is palpable in every part of the western frontiers, in such a way that there is no concern about ensuring sustainable security at the border regions.
The IRGC forces’ preparedness has thwarted the threatening moves by the terrorist groups who receive support and orders from the security and espionage services of the trans-regional enemies or the regional ill-wishers, he added. The commander also noted that the Iranian border guards would not allow anyone to pose a threat against Iran’s independence, territorial integrity and national security.
