Iran Press/ Iran News: Major General Hussein Salami, Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), said this afternoon (Sunday) at the ceremony announcing the beginning of Beit-ol-Moqaddas (Jerusalem) exercise of the Basij battalions: "The Imam (Khomeini) alone had and still has military power as much as all the powers on earth."
Salami added: "At that time, the United States controlled more than 25% of the world economy. When Imam (Khomeini) made the revolution and defeated, the United States, American political domination over the world was widespread."
The commander-in-chief of the IRGC said that the hardest reaction to this great revolution was war. As an Islamic country, we could not present a backward and weak model of a system derived from Islam. We should have progressed, built Iran, and became stronger; he said that we had no choice but to become strong to survive.
General Salami, stating that today our revolution needs the presence of the Basij more than ever, addressed the Basijis and emphasized: Do not hesitate to serve people; each of you, whatever you do to serve the people, is a great battle. Our jihad today is serving the people.
Major General Salami said: "Today we have reached a point where we are really needless of JCPOA, we have realized that not needing to lift sanctions takes precedence over lifting sanctions, and you do this."
