London, 4 November – Their aim: to bolster the Iranian Regime and thwart plots against the dictatorship.
Salar Abnoush, deputy coordinator of Iran’s Khatam-al-Anbia Garrison, an IRGC command front, said: “The whole world should know that the IRGC will be in the U.S. and Europe very soon.”
Worse still, the Regime is currently upgrading their weapons arsenal and plan to buy American-made planes to use in their air force. It is suspected that much of the money being used on their war chest is money released following the 2015 nuclear deal and the $1.7 billion that was given to Iran earlier this year, to secure the release of hostages.
Abnoush said: “The IRGC is [the] strong guardian of the Islamic Republic. The Fedayeen of Velayat [fighting force] are under the order of Iran’s Supreme leader. Defending and protecting the Velayat [the Supreme Leader] has no border and limit.”
Iran has accused the USA of not sticking to the nuclear deal by not opening up all trade markets to Iran, but Iran has not held up its end of the bargain either, by continuing to grow its nuclear weapons programme.
Abnoush said: “Our enemies have several projects to destroy our Islamic revolution, and have waged three wars against us to execute their plans against our Islamic Republic. The IRGC has defeated enemies in several fronts. The enemy surrendered and accepted to negotiate with us.”
He continued: “And now all of our problems are being solved and our country is becoming stronger in all fronts. Some believe the holy defence ended. They are wrong; the holy defence continues, and today, it is more complicated than before.”
According to the Washington Free Beacon, experts who have been tracking Iran’s increased aggression have called these comments troubling.
Saeed Ghasseminejad, an Iran expert at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said: “If we look at Iran’s previous terror attacks and assassination campaign around the world, such a statement is alarming. The Islamic Republic has killed hundreds of Iranians and non-Iranians around the world in a coordinated campaign of terror. Iran may decide to restart the project now that many western companies are going to Iran and Iran feels its action in Europe may not be punished strongly.”
A source who advises congressional leaders on Iran sanctions issues believes that the White House may not be doing enough to protect the US.
They said: “Iran is ideologically, politically, and militarily committed to exporting the Islamic revolution through terrorism, which is why the Obama administration says they’re the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism.”
The White House believes that they already have laws in place to stop the Iranian Regime.
The source said: “Instead of using those tools, though, they’re sending Iran billions of dollars in cash while Iran plants terror cells in Europe and here at home.”
