The US has gained nothing but failure in all of its military
operations in the Middle East, Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi, a top military
aide to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said in a
gathering of Friday prayer worshippers in Tehran.
Pointing to the US’ humiliating defeats in Iraq and
Afghanistan after suffering heavy casualties, the Iranian general said
Washington could not even save its ally, Israel, from losing in the wars
against Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.
After all those futile attempts, Americans mobilized more than
90,000 terrorists around the world and dispatched them to Syria in order to
protect the Zionist regime of Israel by overthrowing Syrian President Bashar
al-Assad’s government, but have gained nothing after seven years of war in
Syria as the terrorists have been defeated, Major General Rahim Safavi added.
His comments came a day after Ayatollah Khamenei described
Washington’s anger over its defeats in West Asia as the reason for US President
Donald Trump’s "foolish” remarks against Iran in the UN speech.
"The foolish, very ugly, and ignoble speech of the US
president, with its gangster and cowboy language full of sheer lies, is rooted
in their anger, frustration, and light-headedness,” Ayatollah Khamenei said on
Thursday.
The remarks did not stem from power but from anger and
frustration because the Americans are infuriated that their years-long plots in
West Asia have been foiled following the Islamic Republic’s effective presence
in the region, the Leader stated.
