US policies in Mideast doomed to failure: IRGC Navy cmdr.
A senior commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) says the US policies in the Middle East are doomed to failure as Washington continues its support for the Al Saud regime’s bloody military campaign against Yemen.
“The US policies have failed in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Afghanistan, and will undoubtedly fail in Yemen as well,” said IRGC Navy Commander Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi.
The senior military official further stated that the global hegemony, spearheaded by the US and the Israeli regime, wages wars and “watches the carnage of Muslims in Islamic states.”
Saudi Arabia’s air campaign against the Ansarullah revolutionaries of the Houthi movement started on March 26, without a United Nations mandate, in a bid to restore power to the country’s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh.
According to reports, close to 2,600 people, including women and children, have lost their lives in the attacks.
In late March, US President Barack Obama authorized the Pentagon to provide logistical and intelligence support to Saudi airstrikes in Yemen.
Reports said last week that the US has increased its intelligence support for Saudi Arabia to help Riyadh in its military aggression in Yemen. The expanded intelligence-sharing includes sensitive data that will assist the Saudis in their aggression against Houthi revolutionaries.
Elsewhere in his comments, the Iranian commander also hailed the IRGC Navy’s military and defensive might, saying it has served as the pioneering force in protecting the grandeur and sovereignty of the Islamic Republic.
He also stressed the influential role of Tehran in the regional and international equations, saying, “In the current age, the world’s freedom-seeking nations, inspired by the Iranian nation’s [1979 Islamic] Revolution, defend their dignity against the enemies’ bullying and greed.”
Fadavi also highlighted the powerful presence of the IRGC Navy in the region, saying the IRGC’s naval forces put their defense capabilities to test through holding military drills.
