West must bow to Iran’s absolute rights: official

In a pre-sermon speech at Tehran Friday prayers, Safavi stated that “Iranian nation’s resistance in the eight years of holy defense has now turned into a culture of Islamic resistance in the Middle East and the Islamic world and this culture is developing and influencing other nations of the world.”

He stressed that the Iranian nation would certainly stand up to the enemies’ threats, adding that The United States’ pressure on Iran has turned the Islamic Republic into an influential political power in the region.

The world would witness the power of Iranian military forces on Saturday’s parade ceremony, he added.

Commenting on the situation in Iraq, the former Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) commander said that Iraqi nation’s resistance has made the occupiers change their military policy and the U.S. president has officially declared that he is going to turn his strategy from war into supervision which proves that Washington’s strategy in Iraq in particular and the Middle East in general has failed.
