US’ malicious acts against IRGC won’t bear fruit: Leader
Tehran (KNA): “Americans are planning plots against IRGC and the Islamic Revolution but such malicious acts will get them nowhere,” the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Khamenei said.
He made the remarks Monday night while addressing a host of IRGC personnel and their families in Tehran.
The reason behind the US's animosity against IRGC is the force's pioneering role in defending the country and the Revolution, Ayatollah Khamenei stressed, adding, "the US and other ignorant enemies have done anything they could against the Islamic Republic of Iran, yet they failed to achieve a single thing. Today, the Revolution and the Islamic Establishment have become powerful in the region and the world."
Ayatollah Khamenei regarded IRGC as an eminent entity at the forefront of encountering enemies on various arenas, saying, "IRGC leads the fight in operational fields, confronting the enemies at our borders; and even thousands of kilometers away from the frontiers, around the shrine of Lady Zainab (s.a.); as well as in political confrontations with enemies."
"It has been 40 years since the enemies began imposing various types of political and economic pressures, as well as launching a comprehensive propaganda campaign against the Iranian nation, but they achieve no results," the Leader said.
Washington designated IRGC as a foreign terrorist organization on Monday through an official statement. In retaliation, Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) has designated American forces in West Asia, known as the United States Central Command (CENTCOM), as a "terrorist organization."
