In a speech on board an oceangoing warship at Iran’s southern port city of Bandar Abbas on Monday, IRGC Commander Major General Hossein Salami praised his forces for their devotion to duty.
Highlighting the IRGC’s courage in the battlefield and its efforts to help the Iranian people, the commander stressed that no power in the world is able to overcome the IRGC, be it on the ground, at the sea or in the air.
The IRGC naval forces are selflessly and resolutely safeguarding Iran and have become a source of strength for the Iranian people, he stated.
In remarks in 2019, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei lauded the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps as a major force at the front line of the fight against enemies, saying the US’ hostile attempts against the IRGC and Iran would get nowhere and boomerang on it.
Hailing the IRGC as a prominent force in confrontation with the adversaries, Ayatollah Khamenei said the force is a forerunner in operational action against the enemies along the borders and even in places thousands of kilometers away, and also in the political confrontation with the foes.
