Mohammad-Ali Jafari, whose comments were published by the state-run Fars news agency, said, “The IRGC’s operations should be against today’s threats. These operations should be kept up to date at all times.”
He said the “survival of the establishment” is tied to the IRGC and called on his agents to comply with the orders of the mullahs’ Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, adding, “In the vast establishment of the IRGC, everyone has to listen to the guidance of the leader. This responsibility is more serious at the level of commanders and officials, and the future of the revolution requires the IRGC.”
Jafari referred to the crises of the clerical regime and the accelerating trend towards its overthrow, saying, the purpose of the “nineteenth nationwide meeting” of the IRGC’s commanders “was to brief on the current situation of the establishment in the world.”
