IRGC Commander: Armed forces should exercise vigilance

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Shiraz, Feb 3, IRNA -- Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards 
Corps (IRGC) Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi said here Thursday that 
the country`s armed forces and Basij (voluntary) forces are in full 
combat readiness and will under command of the Supreme leader of 
the Islamic Revolution defend the Islamic Revolution. 
Neither Americans nor Zionists would dare attacking Iran because 
the country`s youths would give them crushing response in the 
upcoming February 10 (22nd of Bahman) rallies, marking the 26th 
victory anniversary of Islamic Revolution in Iran, he said in an 
address to a group of people and officials. 
Highlighting the most significant global developments in the 
world, Safavi referred to the triumph of Iran`s Islamic Revolution, 
collapse of ex-Soviet Union, fundamental changes in the information 
and telecommunications sectors, growing presence of the US in the 
region and occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq as the four major 
global developments in the past 25 years which have shaped new 
conditions on the regional and international levels. 
The US vulnerability as well as its being trapped in Iraq`s 
quagmire have prompted the Americans issue threats against Iran and 
make a blame game by exerting pressure on the Islamic state, Safavi 
concluded.
