Iran-Threats-Safavi
Former commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi said here Wednesday that no country in the world can threaten Iran.
"No country can threaten Iran because we have a deterrent power thanks to the blood of martyrs," Safavi told a ceremony held in commemoration of martyrs of Isfahan Mobarakeh Steel Complex.
The ex-IRGC commander said Iranian nation are secure and powerful.
"Security and power belong to the Iranian nation. Iran is indebted to martyrs for its influence in Lebanon and Palestine and other parts of the world," he added.
"We have the greatest influence in Iraq and despite its presence, the US has no such an influence there," he added.
He went on to say that Americans are disgraced in Iraq and the loss of reputation cost them global hatred.
As for Israel, Safavi said Israel has come to the conclusion that being a Muslim is not the only danger to them and what is a danger for them are Shiites and Ashura, the day when the third infallible Imam of Shiites, Imam Hossein (AS) attained martyrdom.
He enumerated merits of Iran's Islamic Revolution and said the Revolution is distinctive of other revolutions in terms of identity, public turnout and citizens' motivations.
