IRGC commander: US waging proxy wars to undermine Iran's regional clout

TEHRAN (FNA)- Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari warned that certain reactionary regimes in the region have become a tool of the US to wage proxy wars to block Iran's growing influence in the region.

"The US has opted for a warmongering approach using evil and reactionary regimes in the region after the Islamic Revolution's continued success and the hegemonic system's failure in controlling the Islamic Revolution's influence," General Jafari said, addressing a ceremony in Tehran on Monday.

He said that the corrupt regional regime's greed for power has led them commit savage acts against the defenseless people in Yemen and Syria, attempt to disturb the political and security system in Iraq, supply the Takfiri groups with weapons and suppress the innocent Bahraini people.

General Jafari also blasted a number of the world Muslim bodies for turning into instruments of protecting the US and Israel's interests in the region.

Stressing that the Islamic Awakening and Resistance still continue, he said desperate political attempts in the region and issuance of statements by the so-called Islamic bodies that are favored by the US and Israel to damage the unity of the Islamic Ummah can never block the path of the Islamic Revolution and Awakening in the region.

In relevant remarks in 2015, Lieutenant Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Hossein Salami warned that enemies have opted for a war of proxies against Iran after they were discouraged from direct confrontation against the country.

Given the spread of the Islamic Revolution's thoughts in the Muslim world, "today, our enemies are fighting against us by proxy wars in different fronts but we will continue the path of progress and growth", Salami told reporters in Tehran.

He underlined that the only way to turn Iran into an international power is resistance against the hegemonic powers and those who seek to spread their influence in other countries.
