A senior adviser to the chief commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) said the US will ultimately be forced to leave the region following a “final blow” by resistance forces, warning that Washington must choose between an honorable withdrawal and another humiliating exit.
به گزارش خبرگزاری ۶۰ثانیه، Brigadier General Mohammad-Reza Naqdi made the remarks on Friday while addressing a Janfada (Sacrifice for Iran) campaign in Karaj, west of Tehran. He stressed that the United must choose between an honorable withdrawal and suffering another humiliating withdrawal, as it did in Afghanistan.
He emphasized that stopping support for Israeli crimes and evacuating the region is the only option available to the US, warning that Washington’s current policies will have “further consequences for US forces in the region”. “If support for the Zionist regime and the presence of US forces in the region persist, the fighters on the path of truth will deliver a final decisive blow that puts an end to their presence in the region,” Naqdi stated. He stressed that the enemy’s media can’t cover up its military weakness or change the reality.
Referring to the deployment of US aircraft carriers to the region, the senior adviser said "These carriers—once intended to symbolize American military might—have now turned into 'floating, aimless prisons' at sea, and their capabilities have been called into question in the face of the will and resistance of the region's nations." He also praised the participation of 12 million Iraqis in the farewell ceremony for the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Sayed Ali Khamenei, in July, saying this “demonstrates the failure of the enemies' divisive efforts and the continued public support for the resistance front.”
On Wednesday, the US military completed its withdrawal from Iraq, with the last troops leaving a base in Erbil under an agreement between Baghdad and Washington to end the US-led military occupation. The United States invaded Iraq in March 2003, falsely claiming that Baghdad possessed weapons of mass destruction.
