TEHRAN, Aug. 23 (UPI) -- An Iranian military official claims the United States is attempting to wage a psychological war against the Islamic Republic, Fars News Agency said Thursday.
Mohammad Ali Rahmani, the head of the ideological and political department of the Law Enforcement Police made the remarks in reference to U.S. efforts to declare the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization.
"This accusation shows the glory and grandeur of Iran's Corps and we announce that the Islamic Republic's power and might is increasingly growing due to the preparedness of armed forces," Rahmani said in Tehran Thursday.
He added that such efforts indicate enemies fear the Islamic Republic's might, saying the entire world recognizes Iran as a powerful state.
"This is while the United States is supporting a country like Israel, which has not been even recognized by 50 world states," the official said. "The United States is supporting a country which is well-known for its crimes and murders."
