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