As the superior military force in the Persian Gulf region, the Islamic Republic of Irans Armed Forces is aware of and has intelligence on movements by the militaries of enemies from beyond the region. It is closely monitoring their movements, Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi told a group of IRGC commanders.
General Safavi said that Middle East was facing sensitive months and years ahead.
The enemies which were defeated in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Lebanon have reached the conclusion that the Muslim peoples of these countries have learnt the lesson of resistance and standing steadfast against foreigners domination from our great and sacrificing nation, he said.
From a political perspective, Irans political influence in the equation of the Middle East involving Lebanon, Afghanistan, Iraq, and the Persian Gulf has bewildered the enemies of the Islamic revolution. Thus, they have accepted Iran as an effective, influential, and determining power in this equation, he added.
