MNA � Head of Iran's Passive Defense Organization Brigadier General Gholamreza Jalali said on Monday that �today, Iran is at war with the US in five strategic and sensitive layers and in all of them has the upper hand.�

Noting that the most significant layer is the economic one, he said �Americans claim that they are running the most modern economic war against Iran and are wielding the dollar into a weapon against us and other countries.�

Iran has the upper hand relying on the leadership of Ayatollah Khamenei, as well as the nation's resistance and efforts of officials, he said.

Referring to Trump�s policy of maximum pressure on Iran, he said �no war was and is expected but the Americans sought to show that a war was imminent to make some in Iran falter in making decisions.�

Americans wanted to suggest to the Iranians that their lives relies on Iran�s stance towards the US, he added.

Addressing the issue of FATF, Jalali said that Iranian officials have not come into an agreement about joining the global watchdog yet. �FATF acts as a watchdog for the enemy in the economic war,� he said.

He, elsewhere, rejected the US claim about penetrating into Iranian infrastructure systems via carrying out cyberattacks. �This was just an American bluff,� Jalali said.

They used to underestimate Iran�s missile power but their surveillance drone was shot down by Iran in the Persian Gulf, he added.
