Jordanian Red Crescent Informed Us That 200 Americans Were Killed in Our Attack on Jordan

TEHRAN (Defapress) - Brigadier General Naqdi, the Supreme Advisor to the Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, speaking at a series of sessions on "The Political Wisdom of Islam in the Quran," remarked: "Ambassadors and representatives from these very Persian Gulf states, even at the height of the war, during days of intense conflict and while we were striking American targets in the region, would go to the opposing side and say, 'Strike!'"

Noting that it was not just the opposing side urging the strikes and praising their accuracy, but that these others also supported the action, he added: "Even that prince serving as an ambassador there says, 'Strike!' This situation is, in fact, a potential and an opportunity."

Brigadier General Naqdi emphasized: "The atrocities they committed in Gaza have caused them to be further disgraced in the eyes of global public opinion. We received the figure of 200 American deaths in Jordan from the Jordanian Red Crescent. You fire a single missile, and suddenly you see that 200 American troops have been killed in Jordan. Of course, they do not announce this news themselves, but their Red Crescent personnel provide the information on time."

He noted: "They claim that from the first day of the war until now, only 18 US Army personnel have been killed; that in itself is one of the ironies of the whole affair! During the attack on their hotel in Bahrain, ambulances were constantly coming and going from early evening until nearly dawn. Well, for whom were all those ambulances arriving and departing?"

Brigadier General Naqdi stated: "To begin with, if they were to attempt a ground invasion, where exactly would they come? I believe that in the Americans' strictly private meetings, the topic of a ground invasion has essentially never been raised. They might speak of a ground invasion in media propaganda, but in my view, they do not dare discuss it seriously even in their own confidential meetings; for they know full well what would befall them should they take such a step."

He continued: "Iraq is one-quarter the size of our territory, and Afghanistan is about one-third. The population of each of these two countries is roughly half that of Iran. Despite these conditions, the US war in both countries dragged on for about twenty years. Given this experience, what kind of situation would the Americans face, and what price would they have to pay, if they were to engage in a ground war with Iran?"
