IRGC commander warns US to keep distance from Iran

Speaking to reporters during a rally held to mark the 45th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution on Sunday morning, Hajizadeh stressed that Iran does not seek war but is ready to confront any threat.

He also blamed the United States and Israeli regime for creating the ISIL terrorist group and spending billions of dollars to form a crisis in the West Asia region.

The people of America and Europe should understand where their rulers are spending the taxes taken from them, he added.

Israel launched hostilities in Gaza following a historic operation by the Gaza-based Hamas Resistance group against the occupying entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

The United States has supplied Israel with weapons and intelligence support and blocked UN resolutions calling for a humanitarian ceasefire in the Palestinian territory.
