MNA � Top Military Aide to the Iranian Leader, Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi, has called on the country�s diplomatic apparatus to capitalize on Iran�s victories in the region.

He said the country�s politicians and diplomats need to make use of Iran�s victories against the United States and its allies in Syria and Iraq.

Safavi maintained that today, the US is faced with two main challanges; �one is the Russian Federation which is considered a military threat to the US with its highly advanced weapons arsenal, and the other challenge is China which will become the world�s largest economy by 2030.�

He added that the Americans, instead of addressing these two challenges, are planning to attack other countries such as Afghanistan.

�We have come out victorious in confrontation with the US and its allies in Syria and Iraq,� he said, stressing that Iran�s foreign policy needs to put these victories into good use in the international arena.

�We are the strongest power in the region, and the US needs to acknowledge this power,� Safavi stressed, adding �the US power is dwindling, while China�s power is on the rise.�
