“The enemy is fleeing the region as it has no more room to operate in the [West Asia] region, and it has been marginalized more than ever before."

That is what the chief commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Hossein Salami declared during a ceremony on Thursday.

The top military figure has also noted that the enemy used psychological warfare to weaken the people's faith in the Iranian leadership, stressing that the leader’s influence thwarted such attempts.

Salami added that the enemy forces’ morale has plummeted and they have become aggrieved.

In similar remarks earlier, the top Iranian official said the United States no longer poses a threat. 

"We are before a defeated, runaway, and frustrated America," he stated.

Salami concluded by describing the US on its "deathbed," and described the obstacles and pressures imposed on the Iranian people that began to lift after resistance from the Iranian people.
