Commander Stresses Iran's Upper-Hand in Soft War
TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) underlined that the Islamic nature of Iran's establishment has granted the country an upper-hand in soft war against enemies.
"Our soft war power is much more than enemy's since Islam and our beliefs are our backbone, and this backbone is the strongest in the world," Commander of IRGC's Sahib ul-Amr Corps Salar Abnoush said, addressing a meeting in Iran's Northern city of Qazvin on Tuesday evening.
He further pointed out that a good knowledge and understanding of these two assets enables all Iranian commanders to lead and command their forces efficiently.
In December, Iranian Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi cautioned that enemies are continuing their plots against the Islamic Republic through soft tactics and are spending billions of dollars to overthrow the Islamic establishment in Iran.
"During the last 25 years, as many as 80 institutions, foundations, associations and companies specialized in soft war against Iran have been set up with two-billion-dollar annual funds," Moslehi said at the time.
"There are numerous like-minded institutions and agencies inside and outside of Iran, whose missions are mainly focused on toppling the Islamic establishment in the country," he warned.
He pointed to the complexity of soft war against Iran, and stated, "The enemies of the Islamic Republic have always been involved in hatching long-term plans over the past 19 years as part a soft war against the Iranian nation and in doing so they have allocated more than $17.7 billion in order to stage a coup against the sacred establishment of the Islamic Republic."
Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei had also on many occasions warned about the enemies' soft-war plots to undermine Iran's resolve towards progress. In November 2009, he underlined the necessity for proper measures to repel enemy's soft war against Iran.
"Today, the main priority of the country is to confront (enemy's) soft warfare which is aimed at creating doubt, discord and pessimism among the masses of the people," Ayatollah Khamenei said, addressing a large and fervent congregation of Basij (volunteer) forces.
