IRGC: Enemies losing asymmetric war with Iran
Chief Commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Hossein Salami says enemies are fighting a losing war against the Islamic Republic, citing the country’s religious and popular resources as what have devastatingly turned the odds against the adversaries.
"The enemy's fate is defeat forever," Major General Hossein Salami told an event in Tehran on Tuesday. "The asymmetry that characterizes this warfare is rooted in the [difference between] the nature, identity, and logic of the power" that is owned by each side.
The enemies cannot take on the power that Islamic Revolution has bestowed upon Iran using material means, General Salami said, adding that the country's triangle of its religious faith, religious leadership, and popular presence was always destined to frustrate the adversaries.
Although the Islamic Republic may be confronted with various instances of military force or economic siege, its reliance on its beliefs and convictions always enables it to ride out the storm, the commander said.
He said the adversaries had all been abortively trying to target the country since the 1979 Revolution, including by ramping up their pressures to unprecedented levels over the past three years.
