leading commander in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards has claimed his country’s ultimate aim is to turn the United States into an Islamic Republic, and rejected any possibility of a thawing in relations between Tehran and The Great Satan.
Commander Hassan Abbasi went on to attack the US, noting the position of Iran’s leadership remains one of perpetual hostility towards America and opposition to its most fundamental values. “Just as we defeated the United States’ policies in Syria and Lebanon and Palestine and Iraq, Yemen in the Middle East, we will not rest until we make the United State an Islamic Republic too.”
