IRGC chief: Iran will avenge enemies’ interventionist, mischievous acts

The chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has warned enemies that the Islamic Republic will definitely avenge their “interventionist and mischievous actions.”

Major General Hossein Salami made the remarks in Tehran on Friday while speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the nationwide rallies to commemorate the anniversary of the US embassy takeover in 1979, better known as “Den of Espionage,” which is named the National Day against Global Arrogance.

“The enemies are well aware that we will definitely respond to their interventionist and mischievous behavior; but now, we cannot say where and how this will take place," Salami stated. Whoever disturbs the Iranian nation's peace will never enjoy peace, he said.

Pointing to the people's massive participation in the rallies, he said there is no danger against the Islamic Revolution due to the fact that "the enemies of our country are disappointed with the outcome of their actions against these people."

"Those enemies who said they were not focusing on the revival of the JCPOA (the 2015 nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) have now focused on Iran’s internal affairs," the IRGC chief said.

"The enemies have put their forces on alert and are worried the Islamic Republic may take action against them. Accordingly, they have now retreated into a defensive shell for fear of Iran’s action. Indeed, this demonstrates the truth about us," Salami stated.

Referring to the riots in Iran sparked by the death of a young Iranian woman in police custody last month, the Iranian general said Iran has warned the main culprits to stop walking such a "perlious" path, which has been outlined by adversaries to mislead people.
