IRGC commander: Iran to respond more rigidly to possible threats by aliens

TEHRAN (Iran News) Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Mohammad Pakpour underlined that the Iranian Armed Forces are fully prepared to give resolute and rigid response to the enemies.

Major General Pakpour made the remarks during an inspection visit to the IRGC naval units deployed to the Persian Gulf bases in the south of Iran.

During the inspection visit, Major General Pakpour, Commander-in-Chief of the IRGC, assessed the combat preparedness level of the operational units stationed at the Persian Gulf Islands as high.

Addressing the naval units in the area, Major General Pakpour said that “Just as the armed forces brought the Zionist regime and the United States to their knees in the 12-day imposed war, if any movement is made by the enemies in the sea and islands, the IRGC Navy will respond with all might.”

He also lauded the forces’ high morale and great faith in Islamic values as a major factor in the strength of the Iranian troops which scares the enemy most.

IRGC Commander Informs about Surprising Systems

TEHRAN (Iran News) – The commander of the IRGC said foreign attempts to extend an arms embargo on Iran have no impact on the country’s defense power, adding that surprising systems will be brought into operation in the country in the near future.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a Saturday ceremony held to unveil new homegrown military equipment, Major General Hossein Salami said the IRGC has not relied on foreigners to manufacture any weapon.

“In the near future, we’ll witness the coming into operation of surprising systems,” the commander said, stressing that the foreign attempts to extend the UN arms embargo on Iran would not affect the country’s defense power at all.

While Iran is faced with an international arms embargo and the threats posed by the US and its allies, local scientists have taken the opportunity to fulfill the country’s defense needs with domestic capabilities, the general said.

Major General Salami also praised the IRGC technicians for manufacturing a broad range of weapons, increasing the destructive power of weaponry, boosting their accuracy, making smaller arms, and automating the weapons.

Last week, the top commander highlighted the high level of Iran’s defense preparedness, saying that this has forced the enemies not to think of military options any longer.

Iranian officials have repeatedly underscored that the country will not hesitate to strengthen its military capabilities, including its missile power, which are entirely meant for defense, and that Iran’s defense capabilities will be never subject to negotiations.

Back in February 2018, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei called for efforts to maintain and boost Iran’s defense capabilities, hitting back at the enemies for disputing the country’s missile program.

“Without a moment of hesitation, the country must move to acquire whatever is necessary for defense, even if the whole world is opposed to it,” Ayatollah Khamenei said at the time.

Islamic Revolution Role Model for Free Nations: IRGC Commander

TEHRAN (Iran News) – Deputy Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) for Coordination Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi described Iran as a major global power and said the country’s 1979 Islamic Revolution has become a role model for free nations of the world.

“In the next few days, we will celebrate the 41st anniversary of the victory of… the Islamic Revolution,” Rear Admiral Fadavi said in a ceremony held in the holy city of Qom to commemorate revered IRGC commander Lt. Gen. Qassem Soleimani.

It was a revolution that over the past decades confronted the global arrogance (the US), he added.

The Islamic Revolution with the grace of God and the faith of the great nation of Iran has stood up to the global arrogance and today it has become a major world power, the commander went on to say.

“Today the Islamic Revolution with its wise leadership is a role model for the free nations of the world and has founded the Islamic Resistance Front,” he went on to say.

The remark came as nationwide rallies are slated to be held in Iran on Tuesday to mark the 41st anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.

The Iranian nation toppled the US-backed Pahlavi regime 41 years ago, on February 11, 1979, ending 2,500 years of monarchic rule in the country.

The Islamic Revolution, led by Imam Khomeini, established a new political system based on Islamic values and democracy.

Every year, Iranians mark the anniversary of their Islamic Revolution from February 1 to 11, known as the Ten-Day Fajr (Dawn) ceremonies.

February 1, 1979, was the date when Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned from exile in Paris to Tehran.

IRGC: Iran has power to counter threats

TEHRAN (Iran News) – Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, IRGC, Major General Hossein Salami highlighted Iran’s military power to counter foreign threats and said although the country does not want conflicts, it is not afraid of war.

Iran’s power is so great that all countries know regional problems cannot be resolved without the Islamic Republic power of counter, IRGC commander, General Salami, said, addressing a conference in the southwestern city of Ahvaz on Thursday.

He further pointed to the US hostilities toward the Iranian nation and said, “They have besieged us with economic, industrial, and scientific sanctions to keep us dependent but our nation has resisted with divine guidance…”

“Iran is on the right track and a testimony to our power is that the US blames Iran wherever it faces defeat…,” the IRGC commander said, referring to the US officials’ recent claims that Iran has encouraged the ongoing protests in Iraq decrying US airstrikes against Popular Mobilization Units (also known as Hashd al-Sha’abi).

“We do not interfere in countries’ internal affairs,” he said, adding, “This hatred against the US is pervasive all over the world.”

“We do not lead the country to war, but we are not afraid of any war, and we are telling America to use a proper language in the face of the Iranian nation,” Major General Salami went on to say.

US officials, including President Donald Trump, are trying to accuse Iran of encouraging the protests underway in Iraq decrying US airstrikes against Hashd al-Sha’abi.

On Sunday, US forces conducted drone strikes on a number of Kata’ib Hezbollah bases in Iraq’s western Anbar province, killing at least 28 individuals and leaving another 51 injured.

Kata’ib Hezbollah is part of Hashd al-Sha’abi.

Following the strikes, the Pentagon issued a statement saying that it had targeted three locations of the Iraqi fighters in Iraq and two in Syria in response to alleged attacks targeting American forces.

Angered by the US air raids, Iraqi protesters stormed its embassy compound in the high-security Green Zone in Baghdad on Tuesday, setting fires and chanting: “Death to America!”

They also demanded the removal of American troops from Iraq.

Reacting to the attack, Trump on Tuesday held Iran “fully responsible” for the incident on Twitter and added that the protesters “will be held fully responsible.”

In a separate statement, Trump later also threatened that Tehran would “pay a very big price” after the attack.

On Wednesday, Iran summoned the Swiss charge d’affaires, whose country represents US interests in Iran, to protest “warmongering” remarks by American officials.
