IRGC vows to continue business despite Rouhani’s criticism
By Trend
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has implicitly
criticized the recent remarks by President Hassan Rouhani on the
guards’ role in the country’s economy and its negative impact.
Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Major General
Mohammad Ali Jafari has said that the IRGC over the past several
years has been involved in economic activities due to requests from
the administrations, urging the guards’ contribution to the
country’s economy, Tasnim news agency reported.
Saying that the IRGC is committed to safeguard the Islamic Republic
against the enemies, he added that the IRGC believes that the
aliens only care about their own interests and are seeking to “milk
Iran”.
He further warned the Iranian officials that putting trust in
foreigners would only result in embarrassment.
The top general further refused that his organization is
concentrating on economic and business, saying his organization
seeks to fight poverty in the country.
He further pledged that IRGC will continue to help improving the
livelihood of people, and reducing their economic burden.
