MNA � IRGC�s first-in-command said that the Islamic Republic of Iran should become a model for the whole world and this requires becoming stronger.

�We are building a great modern Islamic civilization � we are not a society of small dreams � we want to offer new patterns while civilizations derived from liberal schools have failed to present successful models for human prosperity,� Chief Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Hossein Salami said on Tuesday.

�We have no choice but to become stronger; we should become an evident model for the world and this is achievable,� he added while addressing a ceremony to introduce the new head of Baqiyatallah hospital.

He went on to say that enemies have created a psychological atmosphere against the country but the Islamic Republic of Iran has managed to obtain great achievements in this battle. �We have defeated the Global Arrogance, led by the US, as enemies created problems and imposed sanctions on Iran. Today, as they are dealing with fundamental problems, we can inflict a series of defeats on them.�

The major general also praised the efforts of the country�s medical staff in the fight against COVID-19, noting that Iran�s success in this battle comes as many countries that claim to be �advanced� have failed to obtain good results.
