Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri described the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps as creator of great opportunities out of threats and crises, saying the IRGC’s power and strategic influence have angered the US and isolated Iran’s enemies.

Since the victory of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the IRGC forces have created major opportunities for the progress of the country during crises, Major General Baqeri said in a message to IRGC Top Chief Major General Hossein Salamai on Friday, ahead of the birthday anniversary of Imam Hussein [AS], the third Shiite Imam, which marks the IRGC’s Day.

Baqeri congratulated Salami and the IRGC forces on the occasion and hailed them as an “impenetrable and indefatigable” organization that has angered and humiliated the enemies, especially the “US terrorist and arrogant regime”.

Baqeri further hailed the IRGC’s role in the fight against the coronavirus outbreak in the country and the forces’ sincere efforts in helping the government counter the disease, saying it shows the importance the IRGC attaches to the health and safety of the people.

The IRGC has formed the Coronavirus Fight Base to coordinate efforts in the battle with COVID-19 and arrange cooperation with the Health Ministry.

Along with the mobilization units [Basij], they have also supplied the necessary medical equipment in the efforts to contain the virus.

The IRGC Ground Force on Wednesday started a biological defense exercise across Iran with the participation of modern warfare units.

The large-scale war game that concluded on Friday covers 3,000 locations across Iran, including 100 spots in Tehran.

Attended by the modern warfare units of the IRGC Ground Force and Basij, the exercise included massive disinfection operations all over Iran.
