Tehran, Iran, Aug. 23 – The Supreme Commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps accused the United States of destabilising the Middle East region.

“The current era is one of distrust. Our region is going through a period of instability and increased feelings of insecurity on a regional and international scale, and this is due to the presence of the occupiers in Afghanistan and Iraq”, Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi was quoted as saying by the government-run news agency ILNA on Tuesday.

He described the circumstances of the region as “sensitive, complicated, and fate-determining”.
