FNA- Lieutenant Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Hossein Salami referred to Washington's repeated failures in its regional plots, stressing that the US has been driven out from the East Mediterranean region to the Red Sea now.

The US scandals and their repeated defeats in the world helps Islam to broaden its might day by day globally, thought the US officials have spent billions of dollars to sponsor Islamophobia in the world but to no avail, General Salami said, addressing a meeting in the Northwestern city of Tabriz on Thursday.

The US not only has lost its power in Iran but also they have been driven out from the eastern Mediterranean to the Red Sea, he said.

The American employed all means and leverages to bring us to our knees in the past 40 years but vigilance of the Iranian people and wisdom of their Supreme Leader disappointed them, General Salami said.
