IRGC Chief Commander Gen. Salami:
TEHRAN (Dispatches) — The chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said Wednesday Iran displayed its power by sending fuel tankers to Venezuela despite threats by the U.S. to take action against them.
“We showcased our might, and our biggest display of power was the imposition of our will and the sailing through high seas from the Persian Gulf to Venezuela,” Major General Hussein Salami said.
The Iranian nation is surmounting problems as it stands at the zenith of power and dignity, he said, adding the key to overcoming challenges is the willpower and faith of the nation.
Five Iranian oil tankers entered Venezuela’s waters in May and June, carrying more than a million barrels of fuel to help revive oil refineries in the South American country, which is suffering from a severe fuel shortage caused by U.S. sanctions.
Iran’s fuel shipments have infuriated the U.S., which has imposed draconian sanctions prohibiting trade with both Iran and Venezuela with the aim of crippling their oil sectors.
Salami said the Islamic Republic managed to bypass the U.S. sanctions, while Washington is drowning under economic pressure. “The U.S., unable to contain the coronavirus, is experiencing its worst economic conditions,” he said.
He added that the Islamic Revolution is breaking the back of its enemies. “Today, we are witnessing the rapid decline of our big enemies, particularly the U.S.”
Salami touched on recent anti-racism protests across the U.S. The American nation, he said, used to be unaware of the U.S. crimes, but it is now cognizant of the criminal nature of the government to the extent that they even set their national flag ablaze.
“All the symbols with which the U.S. used to introduce itself and portrayed an untrue picture of itself are falling,” he added.
The IRGC head said hatred is further spreading in the U.S., adding that lack of prudence could lead to the collapse of the United States.
U.S. cities have been rocked by anti-racism protests since the May 22 killing of George Floyd, an unarmed African American, at the hands of a white U.S. police officer while he pleaded for his life.
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Kkamenei said last week what the U.S. has come face “is a result of the realities that had always been kept concealed”, but have have now moved to the surface causing disgrace for the American administration.
