Revolutionary Guard chief calls US a ‘weakening power’

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard chief described the United States as a declining force, citing what he called structural weaknesses and growing internal challenges.

“The United States has a decayed military, incapacitated officials, and widespread challenges,” Major General Hossein Salami said Tuesday.

He said Iran’s capabilities have sharply increased.

“Our power has multiplied dozens of times since last year, and the theory of attacking Iran no longer exists.”

“We stand firm on our principles in the face of the enemy,” he said, adding that “a change in the US president does not alter the reality of its declining power.”
