Friday, 27 August 2021 (YJC)_IRGC Spokesman blames US for Civil War and the current situation in Afghanistan.
Spokesman of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Ramazan Sharif blames US and took it responsible for Civil War and the current situation in Afghanistan.
He started his speech by asking “What have the Americans achieved in Afghanistan after 20 years?” and added “With all the oppression and crimes, their only achievement was to initiate a civil war in the country.”
He continued to describe the incidents at the Kabul airport as a manifestation of American democracy and said “The enemy launched a media campaign to satisfy the public opinion regarding the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan under the pretext of addressing the stockpiling of weapons of mass destruction.”
However, he said “The US has failed to achieve its goals in the region, and that is because of the wisdom of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei and public resistance.”
Earlier this month, the Afghan government and military collapsed in the face of the Taliban’s swift advances on the ground, which many attribute to a hasty withdrawal of US-led foreign forces from the country, two decades after Washington invaded Afghanistan to eliminate the Taliban.
