IRGC Commander Underlines Iran's Continued Policies Irrespective of Obama Call for Change
Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari blasted the US officials for their interfering remarks against Iran's missile program, and stressed that Tehran will continue its past policies irrespective of Washington's excessive demands.

"It is now years that we increased our power with the assumption of massive war against the US and its allies and expanded all our capacities and capabilities to attain firm victory against such enemies," Jafari said, addressing the IRGC commanders in Tehran on Tuesday.

He underscored Iran's firm decision to continue the path of progress and advancement, and said, "Our missiles which have become more precise and destructive will multiply more than ever."
Now they have the money. The sanctions are gone and they won't be coming back. Now they can tell Champ, and Jahwn, and Hilarity to go screw, and there's nothing we can do about it. At least until January...
General Jafari also referred to the IRGC's policy towards certain Persian Gulf Arab states which show animosity towards Iran, and said, "The IRGC has earned the necessary preparations through planning and is waiting for an order to respond to the impudence and stupid behavior of regimes like Saudi Arabia and Bahrain and others which are the symbol of modern political backwardness, and whose behavior is the result of their reliance on the US power."

He also reiterated Iran's firm support for the Syrian government, the Hezbollah resistance movement and the Palestinian and Yemeni nations, stressing that the country will not allow disintegration of the Muslims states as envisaged by the British-US-Israeli strategy.

In relevant remarks today, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Hassan Firouzabadi blasted US President Barack Obama for his remarks against Tehran's implementation of the nuclear deal, and said he is raising excessive demands.

"We studied the details of the nuclear agreement and didn’t see anything but its text and don’t have any information about its spirit," Firouzabadi said, addressing the Chief of Staff's commanders and officials in Tehran on Tuesday, following the US president's call on Tehran to work on the spirit of the July nuclear deal.

"Therefore, the US arrogant expectations and excessive demands are ungrounded and unacceptable and no one in the Islamic Republic of Iran cares about them," he added.

Also on Tuesday, Iranian Government Spokesman Mohammad Baqer Nobakht said after the implementation of the nuclear deal, the US wrongly imagined that Iran would modify all its policies in line with the deal.

"But we have specified policies in our country and the government has just been allowed to obviate ambiguities with regard to the nuclear issues," he added.

Obama on Friday criticized Iranian leaders for what he called as undermining the “spirit” of last year’s historic nuclear agreement, even as they stick to the “letter” of the pact.

In comments following the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, Obama, meantime, denied speculation that the United States would ease rules preventing dollars from being used in financial transactions with Iran, in order to boost the country’s engagement with the rest of the world.

Iran's Supreme Leader had earlier accused the US of hindering and troubling implementation of the nuclear deal, saying Washington has endorsed the removal of the sanctions against Iran, but intimidates and threatens the European banks not to launch interactions with Tehran.
