Al-Saud Understands Nothing but Language of Force, Says Reza Pourdastan

Commander of the Iranian Army Ground Force General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan deplored Saudi Arabia for its awful management of the Hajj ceremony in which over 4,000 pilgrims were killed, and said Riyadh only understands the language of force, FNA reported.

“The Al-Saud is a hated family and just understands the language of power,” Pourdastan said, addressing cadets in the Central province of Isfahan on Wednesday.

“The Al-Saud understands nothing but the language of force and one should speak with it merely with the language of power,” he added.

A stampede during one of the last rituals of the Hajj season on September 24 killed at least 4,173 people and left thousands wounded.

The stampede occurred during the ritual known as “stoning the devil” in the tent city of Mina, about two miles from Mecca.

At least 465 Iranians lost their lives in the incident and hundreds more were wounded.

Iran optimizing weapons to fight against takfiriterrorists

On the other hand, Senior Iranian army commanders announced reinvigoration of the country’s forces with different stat-or-the-art weapons to fight against the Takfiri terrorists who are serving proxy wars in the region.

The Takfiri terrorists are today fighting proxy wars and the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Army is optimizing its weapons to confront them, Commander of the Iranian Army Ground Force General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan told reporters in the Central city of Isfahan.

He said that one of the weapons which can be effective against enemy attacks is well armed and equipped helicopters, adding that today several Iranian logistical and transportation helicopters were armed with the hi-tech weapons.

These helicopters can empower the Iranian forces “in proxy wars against enemy positions”, Pourdastan said.

In relevant remarks last month, Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari underscored the IRGC forces’ full preparedness to fight against the western and certain regional states’ proxy wars.

“The IRGC has come with all its power to confront the proxy wars and opponents of the resistance front and it has (special) plans,” Jafari said in a press conference in Tehran.

He underlined that the countries and groups which are members of the resistance front can ask the Islamic Republic for advisors and experience, adding that Tehran would help them as much as it can.

Also in September, Lieutenant Commander of the IRGC Brigadier General Hossein Salami warned that enemies had opted for a war of proxies against Iran after they were discouraged from direct confrontation against the country.

Given the spread of the Islamic Revolution’s thoughts in the Muslim world, “today, our enemies are fighting against us by proxy wars in different fronts but we will continue the path of progress and growth”, Salami told reporters in Tehran.

He underlined that the only way to turn Iran into an international power was resistance against the hegemonic powers and those who sought to spread their influence in other countries.
