(Al Arabiya) Yaghoub Fazeli - Iran's culture of "Sacred Defense" can be exported to all of Iran's proxies in the region, according to senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) strategist Hassan Abbasi, who heads the IRGC's Center for Doctrinal Strategic Studies. The "Sacred Defense" is a term used by Iran to refer to the eight-year war with Iraq. Iran celebrates "Sacred Defense Week" every year with military parades. Abbasi said: "Russia does not dare to down a U.S. drone, and China cannot capture an American and make him kneel in front of them. During the Sacred Defense, a culture was formed in the country whereby we capture the American and he kneels in front of us, and we down their drone." He also said that the Popular Mobilization Forces in Iraq have today become Iraq's IRGC. Moreover, he said, "Shiites of the world gathered under the command of commander Qasem Soleimani and created a Shiite NATO in Syria." Abbasi added that 2,300 Iranians who were sent to fight alongside Bashar Assad's forces have been killed in Syria.2019-07-12 00:00:00Full Article
