US military deployments nothing to intimidate Iran: IRGC
Tehran (KNA) - Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says the United States’ deployment of military assets to the Middle East does not intimate the Islamic Republic.
Speaking on Friday, IRGC spokesman Brigadier General Ramezan Sharif said the hype created by America over the deployments was an attempt to grab attention.
"With hype and propaganda, the Americans are attempting to stay relevant in [global] public opinion. [However,] sending some aircraft carrier from one geographical location to another and the talk of moving forces from one place to another are nothing to drive our nation back," Brigadier General Sharif said.
The US said earlier this month that it was dispatching an aircraft carrier strike group and a bomber task force to the Middle East region to counter an alleged threat from Iran. That announcement came shortly after the US administration designated the IRGC as a "Foreign Terrorist Organization."
Those measures worked to raise speculation that a military conflict was likely between Iran and America.
