Sardar Naqdi: We Can Play an Offensive Role Against the Enemy

Adviser to the IRGC Commander-in-Chief: We Can Play an Offensive Role Against the Enemy Wherever We Are

According to the report of Ambassador of Arjan, Sardar Mohammad Reza Naqdi, the supreme adviser of the Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said today (Tuesday, October 21) in the series of meetings "Political Wisdom of Islam in the Qur'an" that the Pahlavi regime was victorious in a situation where the Pahlavi regime had a well-equipped army, security apparatuses, economic and oil resources and control over the media, but the Iranian nation overthrew this regime without relying on weapons and relying on its will and faith.

He stated that knowing the lesser-known components of power can be the basis for more mobility of the revolutionary front, and added: Today, the Iranian nation has capacities that in many cases, the enemy is unable to use. One of the most important of these capacities is the influence of the Islamic Revolution among the nations and the awakened human natures all over the world.

The necessity of using the capacity of nations in the field of confrontation

Referring to the reactions of the people in different countries to the recent developments in the region, Sardar Naqdi said: The presence of people in the funeral ceremony of the martyred leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iraq and other places, as well as the protest gatherings in Western countries, shows the wide capacity that can play a role in the confrontation with the regime of domination.

Referring to the presence of anti-Zionist and anti-American gatherings in London and other western cities, he stated: These capacities should not be ignored. Just as the Iranian nation was able to remove the Pahlavi regime from power by recognizing its power, the recognition and use of this capacity at the global level can also become the basis for wider developments.

Referring to the advice of the Martyr Leader of the Islamic Revolution to the youth to talk with the youth of the world in the virtual space, the Supreme Advisor of the Commander-in-Chief of the IRGC pointed out: Today, any person can explain the message of the Islamic Revolution in any part of the world, using communication tools, and play a role in strengthening the wave of awakening against domination.

Naqdi emphasized: the effects of such a move can go beyond many military tools; Because rockets and drones are only part of the components of power, and the capacity to accompany millions of people around the world is a power that the enemy cannot easily possess.

Emphasizing the role of the armed forces in war calculations

In another part of his speech, referring to the recent military developments, he stated: The armed forces of the Islamic Republic have the necessary capabilities to respond to threats, and one should trust their decisions and calculations. Because the military action and even its timing is determined based on strategic considerations and interests of the country.

Criticizing the limitation of the concept of invasion to missile operations, the supreme advisor of the IRGC commander said: We must have an offensive formation, but this does not mean relying solely on missiles. In addition to military power, the Islamic Republic has popular and international capacities that should be used in various fields.

Hybrid warfare does not end with military pressure

Emphasizing the necessity of continuing preparations in various fields, Sardar Naqdi stated: Even if the situation does not lead to a direct military conflict, it should not be assumed that the confrontation in other fields has ended. Economic pressure and psychological operations are also a part of this confrontation, and dealing with it requires the vigilance and active presence of the people.

Referring to the people's cooperation with the country's defense front, he added: The experience of collecting public donations for the fighters shows that the people's participation, even in spite of the economic limitations, is one of the important supports of the country.

The Supreme Advisor of the Commander-in-Chief of the IRGC further emphasized the need to recognize and activate all domestic and international capacities and said: "The field of confrontation is not limited to the military arena and each person can play a role in strengthening the revolutionary front and countering the pressures of the enemy, according to their ability and position."

A narrative of people's sacrifice; From donating sheep to inherited gold

In the continuation of his speech, referring to the spirit of people's companionship with the fighters, Sardar Naqdi told two accounts of people's aid to the front and said: During the collection of aid, a truck was filled with items donated by people and the group was moving when a nomadic woman stopped the truck and insisted that her help be received.

He added: Even though the officials of the aid collection emphasized that the truck has no more capacity, this woman insisted so much that she finally took them to her tent and donated her biggest sheep to help the front.

The Supreme Advisor to the Commander-in-Chief of the IRGC also mentioned another woman who donated her inherited gold necklace to support the front in one of the public gatherings; A woman who, according to Naqdi, needed a loan of 200 million tomans to complete the repairs of her house, but despite financial problems, she did not give up helping the front.

Referring to these narratives, Naqdi considered the spirit of self-sacrifice and companionship of the people as one of the important pillars of the country and emphasized that economic pressures do not necessarily lead to the weakening of the will of the people.

Demanding should not lead to differences and divisions

In another part of his speech, the Supreme Advisor of the Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps emphasized the need to maintain internal unity and solidarity and said: People should pursue their demands through legal channels and responsible institutions, and in this way, take advantage of the capacity of parliamentarians, representatives of religious leaders, and other existing mechanisms.

He added: People may have demands and criticisms, but these demands should not lead to differences and divisions among people. Unity must be maintained and follow-up of issues should continue through clear and legal paths.

Emphasizing the necessity of solidarity in the face of the enemy, Naqdi noted: maintaining unity and companionship of the people is one of the important factors in overcoming difficult situations, and differences of opinion should not be allowed to become divisions in the society.

Referring to the accompaniment of some ambassadors of the Persian Gulf countries with Iran's attacks on American targets in the region, Sardar Naqdi said: The Iranian ambassador in one of the important countries of the region used to say that at the height of the war and in the days when the conflicts were intense, the ambassadors of the same Persian Gulf countries where we were targeting American targets would shake hands with him in meetings and say in his ear: "Beat." It means that you are not the only one who says hit; That prince who is the ambassador there says hit.

He added: This is a capacity and an opportunity. The crimes they committed in Gaza caused them to be disgraced in front of the people of the world, and the crimes they committed in the aggression against Iran made them even more disgraceful. This situation has created an opportunity to wake up and move.

The Supreme Advisor to the Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps continued: Today, America's economic interests are scattered all over the world and all these interests are vulnerable. By moving these waves, all these interests can be destroyed. Today, we must organize an offensive movement and all of us should be fighters in this field.

Naqdi emphasized: It is not necessary to rely on missiles. We have the missiles and we have enough of them. Whenever it is necessary and the command is issued, the missiles will hit the target they are supposed to hit; God willing, by God's permission, no one has doubts in this regard.

Referring to the crimes committed by the Zionist regime in Gaza and the aggression against Iran, the Supreme Advisor to the Commander-in-Chief of the IRGC stated: The crimes they committed in Gaza caused them to be disgraced in front of the people of the world, and they disgraced themselves even more with the crimes they committed in the aggression against Iran. This situation has created an opportunity to wake up and move.

They have not talked about a ground attack in each other's ear either

Referring to the possibility of an American ground attack on Iran, Sardar Naqdi said: Where on earth does America want to come? I don't think even in the very private meetings of the Americans there was any talk of a ground attack at all. They talk about this issue in media advertisements, but they haven't even talked about the ground attack in secret and in each other's ears; Because they know what will happen to them.

He added: Iraq has a quarter of our land and Afghanistan a third of our land, and the population of each of these countries is half the population of Iran. Recently, when the Americans attacked these two countries, half of the territory of Iraq was in the hands of the opponents and half of Afghanistan was in the hands of the opponents of the government. They attacked under such conditions, but their war lasted 20 years in both countries.

The supreme adviser of the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps continued: Americans spent 3 thousand billion dollars in Afghanistan and 4 thousand billion dollars in Iraq and fought for 20 years, but what did they get in the end? In Afghanistan, they left behind 85 billion dollars of weapons and ran away, and in Iraq they were expelled with disgrace.

Naqdi clarified: Which calculating person is willing to decide on a ground attack considering such an experience? This is the fate of the ground attack. If they spent 3 or 4 trillion dollars there and their war lasted 20 years, what will happen here? Where the war does not even last 20 days? They will take so many captives that they themselves come and surrender and raise the flag of surrender.

He emphasized: I don't think they even had a very preliminary discussion about the ground attack with themselves. Such a decision has not formed in their minds at all, because they know that they cannot do this.

Referring to the situation of the US Navy, the Supreme Advisor to the Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said: They have a navy, but their fleet has been wandering for seven months. The base of these ships is in Bahrain. They have been present in the Persian Gulf for 100 years, but they have fled since the start of the war and cannot approach within a distance of a thousand kilometers. Because they know what can happen to them.

200 Americans were killed in Jordan

Referring to the casualties of American forces in the region, Sardar Naqdi said: "You shoot a missile and suddenly you see 200 Americans have been killed in Jordan." They don't announce this news, but their Red Crescent forces give us this information and we have collected the statistics.

He added: They announce that only 18 American soldiers have been killed since the first day of the war. This is like a joke. While when the attacks hit their hotels in Bahrain, from the beginning of the night until the morning, the ambulances were constantly in traffic. Were those who were killed there jinn?
