Muslims should widen front against U.S.: IRGC commander
TEHRAN - The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Chief Commander, Major General Hossein Salami, has warned that United States is targeting the entire Muslim world in a bid to dominate and exploit its peoples, adding that the Islamic world should unite against Washington.
Addressing a ceremony honoring IRGC advisors assassinated in an Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate in Syria, Salami emphasized that the primary mission of the IRGC's Quds Force is to combat enemies in the eastern Mediterranean Sea and expand the battlefront to weaken them.
"All Muslims are in the same boat," Salami said. "If the enemy infiltrates one Muslim state, it will move on to others. Therefore, aggressors must be blocked from advancing their dominance."
Salami explained that the IRGC Quds Force has successfully halted the enemy's advance in the eastern Mediterranean and is expanding the front to force enemies into disarray. "We are doing this to protect our own national security and the security and dignity of other Muslims," he added.
Salami also denounced Israel and the US as "the most abhorrent regimes on earth," accusing them of supporting Israel with weapons and political backing. He warned that the deployment of forces by non-regional powers, particularly the U.S., in the Muslim world only leads to chaos, poverty, and bloodshed.
Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, launched by Palestinian resistance groups in Gaza, was cited by Salami as evidence of the failure of Israeli intelligence. He also highlighted the IRGC's Operation True Promise, which involved missile and drone strikes on Israeli-occupied territories, as a significant blow to Israel and a demonstration of the weakness of Western-deployed anti-missile systems.
"The political life of the Israeli regime is nearing its end," Salami asserted. "America's political geography has declined globally, and its moral bankruptcy is evident. The US's false pretence as a defender of human rights, democracy, and prosperity is crumbling."
Operation True Promise successfully targeted Israeli military bases across the occupied territories.
