Enemies have no option but to surrender to Iran: Top commander

A top Iranian commander says the armed forces have dealt heavy blows to the enemies since United States and Israel launched their war of aggression late last month, adding that they have no option but to surrender.

In a message to the Iranian nation, Major General Ali Abdollahi, commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, said the armed forces have a heavier responsibility against the enemy when they witness the strong presence of noble and faithful Iranians and their unprecedented resistance in the face of the aggressors.

“The criminal US must know that the era of plundering nations across the world is over,” he added.

“Regional nations must know that the US cannot and will no longer be able to provide them with security and that the US presence in every part of the world has so far resulted in nothing but instability and insecurity,” the commander emphasized.

Abdollahi said Iran has repeatedly declared that it would not initiate any war but if the enemies launch any act of aggression or hostility at any level, Tehran would determine its outcome.

He reiterated that under the guidelines of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei and with support of the nation, the Iranian armed forces are determined to “utilize all geopolitical capacities, including managing and controlling passage through the strategic Strait of Hormuz.”

The armed forces are also resolved to bring the aggressor enemies to their knees, he said.

The commander said the Iranian armed forces have proved that the hollow power of the US and its proxies, including the child-killing Israeli regime, is on the decline.

Abdollahi expressed confidence that Iran would achieve a final victory in the battle against the enemies.

The US and the Israeli regime launched a large-scale unprovoked military assault against on February 28, assassinating Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and several senior military commanders.

Iran's armed forces have responded by launching daily missile and drone operations targeting locations in the Israeli-occupied territories as well as US military bases and assets in the region.
