Iran blocked enemy’s path to war: IRGC
Tehran (KNA) - The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC)’s chief commander hails Iran’s significant progress in the defense sector, saying the country has effectively deterred the enemy from waging war on it.
"In the military sphere, we have completely blocked the enemy's path, and reversed the balance (in our favor)," Major General Hossein Salami said, speaking at the IRGC's Khatam al-Anbiya Construction Headquarters in Tehran on Wednesday.
"Under the current circumstances, it is [actually] the enemies, who are wary whether a war would break out," Salami noted. "That anxiety is visible in their practical and tactical attitude."
A while ago, some would consider war to be inevitable if Iran refused to negotiate, but the tables turned and now the enemy trembles at even the thought of a potential military conflict with the Islamic Republic, he added.
The victory was iterated on the political arena, he said. He cited Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's meeting with Leader of the Islamic Revolution Seyyed Ali Khamenei last month - which came at a time of heightened US-led attempts at demonizing Iran in the eyes of the international community.
