Tehran, May 31, IRNA -- Commander in Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Mohammad-Ali Jaafari Thursday said Iran has extended a friendly hand to all Muslim countries, Persian Gulf littoral states in particular.
The major general made the remarks while he was visiting combat units stationed on the three Iranian islands of the Grater and Lesser Tunbs and Abu Mussa in the Persian Gulf.
He was accompanied by Commander of IRGC’s Navy Rear-Admiral Ali Fadavi.
“Through regional cooperation, we can provide security of these strategic waters, disappoint enemies and add to the glory of Islam,” said the commander in chief.
He urged the regional states, “particularly, those located in the southern parts of the Persian Gulf, to cut off the hands of the global arrogant powers from the region by unity and brotherhood.”
