Iran not afraid of fatigued, helpless enemies, towers over them: IRGC chief

The chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says the enemies of the Islamic Republic are in decline, stressing that Iran is not afraid of the enemy’s military power as the enemy has tested and is well aware of the Islamic Republic’s military might on the battlefield.

According to Press TV, Major General Hossein Salami made the remarks on Thursday, while addressing a ceremony in the city of Qom to commemorate the martyrdom anniversary of Iran’s top anti-terror General Qassem Soleimani and his companions, who were martyred in a US terrorist attack in Iraq almost two years ago.

“We are not afraid of the enemy because we tower over them. They have tested us in the field, so we are not worried about the military power of the enemy,” Salami said.

“The more we look into the depths of the enemy, the more fatigue and helplessness we see in them, and we are sure that this process will continue,” he stated.

According to Salami, the enemy thought that by assassinating General Soleimani, they would be able to break the resistance, but the resistance forces continue this path more earnestly.

“The enemy, by assassinating Martyr Soleimani, sought to undermine the resistance front, but contrary to all of its equations [and] thanks to the blood of this martyr, the resistance has become stronger and more powerful than ever,” General Salami said.

He further stressed that the enemies of the Islamic Republic are declining, saying, “just look at the area of American influence and that of the [Islamic] Revolution compared to the past.”

The commander also drew a comparison between Iran’s collected demeanor and that of Prophet Ibrahim (PBUH), who emerged from his own enemy’s fire untouched.

“We are in the middle of a global battle. That we are calm is [like] the story of Ibrahim Khalilullah, on whom God cooled the fire,” said General Salami, adding, “It is God’s will to cool the fire on the Islamic Revolution.”
