Iran’s authority result of resistance, advances in endless wars: IRGC chief – Press TV
The chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says Iran has become so powerful that it fearlessly attacks the heart of the global arrogance.
The fact that the Islamic Republic attacks the heart of the [global] arrogance fearlessly and with the knowledge of all-round enmity and consequences shows the peoples power of faith, resistance, will and progress, Major General HosseinSalamisaid in Semnan Province on Monday.
Referring to Iran's recent Operation True Promise against Israel, Salami said, "By relying on the strength and power of the zealous Iranian nation, the operation was not carried out as a surprise, but by taking responsibility for it and broadcasting its images."
"From the very first moments of the operation, Iranians took to the streets to express their support for the retaliatory attack and the IRGC," he stressed.
On April 14, Iran fired morethan 300 dronesand missiles at military bases in the Israeli-occupied territories.
The large-scale attack, dubbed Operation True Promise, was a response to a terrorist Israeli raid against Irans consulate in the Syrian capital Damascus that killed 13 people, including seven IRGC military advisors.
Salami also noted that Iran achieved success whenever it faced obstacles and sanctions.
The power of the Islamic Republic establishment today is the outcome of resistance and progress in an endless war in multiple forms with different countries of the world, he said.
The Iranian nation turned sanctions into an opportunity for advancement in various fields, the IRGC chief added.
Salami noted that, "The enemy's idea of sanctioning Iran was to paralyze and make it surrender, however, our nation turned the sanction into an opportunity for progress, and this power's great achievements have been displayed to the world in various fields today."
The IRGC chief asserted that the key to overcoming sanctions and problems is "being with the people."
The United States under former president Donald Trump reinstated crippling sanctions on Iran after unilaterally walking out of the 2015 nuclear deal in May 2018, despite Irans full compliance with the terms of the agreement, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
In defiance of the illegal sanctions, Iran has made great strides in different areas and has become self-reliant in many sectors.
