IRGC chief says US trying to intimidate Iran, ‘does not dare’ attack
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps has said the dispatchment to the Persian Gulf of a US aircraft carrier is “psychological warfare,” according to an Iranian parliamentarian.
MP Mohammad Ali Pourmokhtar speaks with Iran’s Fars news agency after Brig. Gen. Hossein Salami, the IRGC chief, gave a closed-door briefing to lawmakers amid growing tensions between Tehran and Washington.
“Dispatching the US aircraft carrier to the regional waters is nothing but psychological warfare and the US wants to intimidate people and some officials of war,” Pourmokhtar quotes Salami saying.
“The IRGC commander said that US war on Iran is impossible and the US lacks power and does not dare to start a war against Iran,” the lawmaker adds.
