MNA � Chief Commander of Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Hossein Salami said on Saturday that �some 8.5 million of deaths is the result of direct or indirect interference of the US in wars in the region and the Muslim world during the past 40 years.�

�The US is the major exporter of weaponry and the main party of different wars across the globe, while in American articles ensuring peace in the world is majorly discussed,� he said.

�US military power illustrates that it seeks nothing more than creating chances for destroying the earth,� he said, �While Americans speak of combating mass destruction weapons, their country is the first one who achieved atomic weapons and used them.�

Iranian General noted that while the US talks of fighting against terrorism and human right, President Trump admits that ISIL had been established under his predecessor President Obama.

�How can a country that plans coups in different world countries be the flag-carrier of democracy?� he asked.

�The US has sought meeting its interests in various parts of the world and has expanded its military power, accordingly,� he said, �[Now,] the US cannot develop its economic achievements across the globe since the balance between its budget and costs is disturbed.�

�The more costs the Americans pay, the less they gain,� General Salami added.

�In present conditions, the US pays the prices but the victory goes to its enemies,� he said.

"They have reached a level of powerlessness that despite having power they lack the tact to use it effectively. This means the decline of their power," he noted.
