Iran’s enmity with US rooted in ideology, Revolutionary Guards chief says

Jun 11, 2025, 11:08 GMT+1

Iran’s conflict with the United States is ideological and enduring, said IRGC commander Major General Hossein Salami on Wednesday.

“Our enmity with America is a matter of belief and part of the struggle against arrogance,” he said.

Salami added that sanctions are only one aspect of a deeper confrontation, which “will not end because it stems from our convictions.”

The IRGC chief described today’s tensions as a continuation of the 1980s Iran-Iraq war, calling that war a defining moment that “revealed and revived our identity.” The struggle, he said, continues across different battlefields.
