Era of Zero-cost Pressure is Over - Iran Army Commander

By Staff, Agencies

Iran’s Army Commander Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi cautioned the country’s enemies that the Islamic Republic has the necessary power and resolve to respond to pressures.

In an address to a Monday ceremony in Tehran, held to mark the 40th anniversary of takeover of the US embassy, Major General Mousavi said Iran’s policy of active resistance has forced the arrogant powers to change their behavior and calculations.

Their reasonable officials have realized that the “era of pressures with a zero cost has ended,” Mousavi said, adding, “Iran has the necessary facilities, determination and consensus to respond to pressures.”

Enumerating the US government’s hostile measures against Iran, the army commander said the Islamic resistance and the battle against arrogance have inflicted defeats on the US, which he said is rapidly heading towards downfall under US President Donald Trump.

The Army commander also highlighted Iran’s leading role and influence in West Asia, saying the concept of resistance has been promoted across the entire region and turned into an effective model for countering the hegemony.
