Tehran, Iran, Dec. 12 The Supreme Commander of Irans Islamic
Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi
called for all Islamic nations to unite under one flag.
According to a statement released by Safavis office on Sunday, the
ranking commander of the elite force told a gathering of IRGC
officers and female combatants that Iran was ready to face all
foreign threats.
In parallel with threats posed, the IRGC will upgrade its
structure, courses, utilities, and equipment with todays
technological advancements. The IRGCs forces are ready to face any
foreign and domestic threat in accordance with this doctrine,
Safavi said.
The military chief said that there was good unity among Irans
government, Majlis (Parliament), and judiciary to counter foreign
threats. Domestic and foreign enemies are worried of unity and
steadfastness inside the country and try to create ethnic strife in
various regions [in Iran], especially in the border regions, using
various excuses including underdevelopment, he said.
Safavi went on to say that the theory for a uni-polar globe had met
defeat. Taking into consideration the existence of power poles,
including Europe and certain Asian countries, nations of the
Islamic world can be defined as a world power pole. They can even
create a Union of Islamic States that can defend their religious
identity and supremacy.
There has been an increase of Islamic awakening following the
victory of the [1979] Islamic revolution in Iran. The worlds
Muslims have experienced an example of a religious democracy in the
Islamic Republic.
The United States was after control of the world political,
economic, and cultural leadership, but the Islamic revolution,
Islamic awakening, and the events in Iraq and Afghanistan have
helped in brining about Americas defeat in its goals.
At present, Americas foreign policy boat has gotten stuck in mud
in Iraq. This countrys leaders in Iraq neither have a plan to move
forward nor a plan to move back. If in Iraqs parliamentary
elections Americas opponents come to power, the occupiers must
accept their defeat and leave Iraq.
Earlier this month, the IRGC chief declared that the U.S. would
suffer a greater defeat in Iraq than it did in its war in
Vietnam.
Safavi told a gathering of senior military commanders in the
north-eastern city of Mashad that a future Iraq would be in the
hands of Muslims.
Americas uni-polar domination of the world has failed, Safavi
said.
Referring to the Thursdays parliamentary elections in Iraq, he
said, More than 50 percent of Iraqs parliament will be comprised
of committed and Islamic forces. The future of Iraq will be in the
hands of Muslims.
