TEHRAN – A military advisor to the Supreme Leader said on Sunday that Washington has suffered major defeats in the region against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC or Sepah), Mehr news agency reported.

Rahim Safavi also said that the Islamic Republic will not trigger a war but should boost its military power just in case.
