TEHRAN (Defapress) - Brigadier General Hossein Nejat, Deputy Commander of the Sarallah Headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, in an interview with the Defapress correspondent, referring to the vulgar language and rhetoric of US President against the Guardian of the Muslims of the world and the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, stated: The Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces has both the favor of the Imam al-Mahdi and the support of the people. There is a deep relationship between His Holiness and the people, and certainly no one can degrade the position of the leader among the people with this rhetoric.

Referring to the epic of January 12, Sardar Nejat continued: On this day, people showed up in the streets with an epic and passionate presence and chanted slogans of support for the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution.

Deputy Commander of the IRGC’s Sarallah Headquarters also clarified regarding the recent claims by American officials regarding a military attack on Iran: America will ultimately be defeated by Iran. This is not a new issue, and America launched military attacks against our country both during the eight-year Sacred Defense period and in the 12-day imposed war, but they have never succeeded in their plans and have failed.

He also said about the role of America and the Zionist regime in the recent terrorist war: The Americans had planned and designed this sedition with the help of the occupying regime in Jerusalem, and it was supposed to happen on the third or fourth day of the 12-day imposed war; but with the people’s support for the regime, their wish was not fulfilled.

Brigadier General Nejat continued: “The enemy’s next plan was to first cause unrest in the country and then carry out military operations. When Trump said on January 14 that if protesters were shot, we would launch a military operation, it was clear that they had a plan and wanted to carry out targeted killings and then launch a military operation.”

The Deputy Commander of the IRGC’s Sarallah Headquarters noted: “The conscious presence of the people on January 12, as well as the intelligent actions of the military and security forces that prevented the spread of unrest, led to the enemy’s despair and defeat.”
