IRGC Commander - US, Israel Not In Position To Attack Iran
TEHRAN (IRNA) - Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Rahim Safavi said on Wednesday that the US and Israel are not in a position to launch a military attack on Iran.
He told a press conference on the sidelines of a large military exercise of one hundred thousand Basij (volunteer forces) that it would be foolish if the US opted for military confrontation with Iran.
"The US has been trapped in Iraq and Washington’s Middle East warship ran aground in Iraq and Falluja," he said. Safavi said that the US has embarked on a psychological warfare against Iran and the US threats are not serious for the Basij.
Major General Safavi said that the US CASUALTIES in Iraq exceeded 10,600 DEAD, and according to some figures it stood at 14,000 dead which accounted for 10 percent of the American soldiers.
"Will the American people accept such a high percentage of casualties?," he asked.
On the detrimental impacts of US presence to the Iraqi people, Safavi said that the US army brought neither peace nor democracy for the Iraqi people. Neither did it bring progress and welfare to Iraq, he added.
"They killed or wounded 100,000 Iraqi people," Safavi pointed out. Elaborating on Iranian defense strategy, he said that Iranian defense strategy focuses on deterrence to foreign aggression. Of
course, the armed forces are responsible for multilateral defense of the country.
"If the enemy opts for causing trouble to Iran, it will be dealt with in kind," Safavi said. He said that the Basij has formed 2,500 battalions which are well-prepared to defend the country under command of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) and in cooperation with the Army of
the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Oh yeah, saddam knew he couldn’t face american storm troopers, neither can protesters in NY. In any case, he taught his soldiers the art of guerilla warfare...something our commander-in-chief never learned all those years at yale and harvard, too much coke I guess. A failure just like his father, or that other piece of trash named nixon. Let me suck your big bad american army in, give you the false impression of victory, and then hit you any chance I get. Hmmm, sounds like that other terrorist...George Washington.
We have already lost, now it’s just how many dead americans do you want to see, play a little game with it..."when I see this many dead americans, that is when I will say something and speak out". Let’s just hope that number, is one short of your neighbor’s kid.
Iran? not without a draft baby...JOIN FOR FREEDOM, JOIN FOR DOMINATION, or just join so you can follow orders like raping kids and shooting on civillians. It won’t be your fault, it’s just an order. Since bush can’t be charged with war crimes even though he’s committing genocide, just point the finger at him, he’s got immunity baby...so keep on shooting, raise that confederate flag, and slap a cross at the end of your barrell. We’re just getting started in our "new world order", just ask daddy bush, he said so himself...to congress, with them cheering.
