IRGC chief: US will collapse with one strike just like the World Trade Center
He’s utterly adorable.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said on Saturday that his country is in a full intelligence war with the United States and "enemies of the Islamic Theocratic Republic" which includes cyber and military operations.

"We are in a full intelligence war with the United States and the enemies of the Islamic Theocratic Republic. This war is a combination of psychological warfare, cyber operations, military operations, diplomacy, fear, and intimidation," Major General Hossein Salami, who was named head of the force last month, was quoted as saying by Fars news agency.

Salami also said that the Americans are facing great risks now.

"America has lost its power, and even though they look powerful, they are frail," he said while adding: "In reality America’s story is the same as the story of the World Trade Center that collapsed suddenly with one strike.

His comments came just days after he said that the Revolutionary Guards were on the "cusp of a full-scale confrontation with the enemy."

#1 The very fact that an Iranian regime element would invoke 9/11 in this context shows that 9/11 and the Western reaction to 9/11 did dangerously weaken Western and US deterrence.

9/11 has taught rational adversaries that a massive attack on the West is not a losing move.
