Mohammadhossein Saffar Harandi, consultant to the IRGC commander, in a meeting with the Basij members of Varamin stressed that the US does not have the power for a new war, adding "The US must know that on the first day of its attack, it will be left with 30 thousand dead soldiers.”
Stressing his point that the US will greatly suffer if
attacking Iran, Harandi said "So far more than 5 thousand US forces have been
killed in Iraq, that’s why the US does not have the power for a new war.”
