Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Lieutenant Commander Brigadier General Hossein Salami ruled out military conflict with the US and said Washington is aware that it will lose in any war against Tehran.
“The option of war against the Islamic Republic of Iran is canceled because the US has neither political conditions for a war nor an ally that would side with it,” Brigadier General Salami said in a speech in the northern province of Semnan.
Therefore, it (Washington) is aware that it will be the loser of any war that wages against Iran, which will lead to the further development of the Islamic Republic’s regional clout, the Iranian commander said according to Tasnim news agency.
As the commander emphasized that Iran is closely monitoring US military, he noted that the American military is incapable “to involve in a battle” against the Islamic Republic, and, on the other hand, the American economy cannot support such a war.
Brigadier General Salami also pointed to the IRGC’s recent missile attack against terrorists in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region, saying the operation demonstrated that if the enemies seek to harm Iran, the country will give a “firm, destructive, and crushing” response that will make them regret it.
On September 8, the IRGC launched a missile attack on a center in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region that was used for training anti-Iran elements and hosted a meeting of terrorist leaders.
The terrorists had a role in the killing of Iranian soldiers at a border post in the western city of Marivan.
