The US forces in Iraq are looking for an opportunity to attack Iran, but they don't dare to at present, a senior Iranian commander says.

Iran's Islamic Revolution's Guards Corps (IRGC) commander, Brigadier General Mohammad Ali Jafari, said that despite the hefty US military budget, it is not now in a position to take any measure against Iran.

"Over the past 200 years ago, many parts of Iran were either occupied by her enemies or annexed to their territories due to the weakness of the monarchs. Yet our enemies could not seize even a small piece of the Iranian territory over the past 30 years," Jafari stated.

He pointed out that what bothers the opponents of Islam is the consensus between the Iranian and Iraqi nations after the collapse of the former Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein.

"Despite the enemies' plots and their ongoing efforts to spread the notion of Iran's lack of success, Iran is doing well in all areas," the Jafari added.
