Commander of the Islamic Revolution's Guard Corps (IRGC) Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi on Saturday said Iran and its armed forces are ready to face the enemies' various scenarios, including political and economic pressures.

Speaking at ceremony to introduce his newly appointed deputy Brigadier General Morteza Rezaei and the head of IRGC's protection and information department, Safavi declared IRGC's readiness to play a multifaceted role under all conditions to confront both foreign enemies and their domestic subversive agents.

 

According to a report released by IRGC Public Relations Department, Safavi referred to the current world security as unstable and insecure, and said given the present era of mistrust, the Middle East is now in a political, security and even economic transition. "We are now facing an extremely sensitive, complicated and decisive situation. Therefore, special attention should be paid to IRGC duties and missions under the current global, regional, peripheral and domestic security conditions," he noted.
