US resorting to proxy attacks on Iran since direct military action would prove suicidal: IRGC chief
The chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has hailed Iran's formidable defensive power, noting that the US is resorting to waging proxy attacks on since they are well aware that direct military action against us would spell into a "major suicide" for them.
Addressing a Monday meeting with a group of commanders from the IRGC Ground Force, Major General Hossein Salami further emphasized that the Iranian armed forces have succeeded in establishing a deterrent power against enemies.
He also pointed out that Iran’s defense structure has weathered diverse sorts of threats over the recent decades, accomplishing a rather “hard and heavy experience” against hard-core and minor enemy forces in the modern era.
He then underlined that Iran’s deterrent power is not limited to just missiles and drones, adding that the enemy has become increasingly disappointed due to the formation of an “endless [defensive] power” in the country against any hostile forces.
Salami also argued that Iran’s “small enemies” are part of the bigger enemies’ strategies and act as mere proxies in their hands.
Those who carried out a tactical destructive move, say in a police station or a checkpoint, receive direct instructions from the United States, he then underlined in apparent reference to a terrorist attack against a police station in the southeastern city of Zahedan, the capital of the province of Sistan and Baluchestan, on Saturday.
The attack led to the killing of four armed terrorists and two police officers.
Police Chief of Sistan and Baluchestan Doustali Jalilian said on Saturday that the armed terrorists had tried to gain entry into the central area of police station Number 16 of Zahedan while disguising themselves as clients.
Iranian Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi also said that the country’s intelligence and security apparatus will never abandon pursuing terrorist groups even beyond the borders.
