A top Iranian commander has warned the US against the “big risk” of imposing terrorism-related sanctions on the country’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).
Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri said Monday that, “Putting IRGC together with terrorist groups and imposing the same sanctions (used against terrorists) on IRGC would be a big risk to the US and its bases and forces stationed in the region.”
Speaking at a gathering of IRGC Ground Force commanders, held in the northeastern city of Mashhad, the top commander condemned the “wrong US calculation” of seeking to apply terrorism-related sanctions against IRGC.
Major General Baqeri said the Iranian nation has always stood up against the world hegemonic system, especially the US, and has boosted its capabilities, stressing that any fresh sanction would again become an opportunity for Iran’s progress.
He further advised the US Congress to exercise more “caution” and “think deeper” about the decisions on new anti-Iran sanctions, stressing, “The Islamic Republic of Iran’s missile power is defensive and never would be subject to bargaining and negotiation at any level.”
