In a telephone conversation with Russian counterpart Sergei Shuig on Monday evening, General Nasirzadeh emphasized that Iran is determined to punish the invaders with all his strength.
He thanked Russia for his support for Iran, adding, “It is clear that in this war we are not facing only the criminal Israeli regime, rather the United States and some countries are casting weight behind the criminal Israeli regime.”
The US government is the root cause of many problems and instability in the region, he said, adding that Iran and Russia can strive to spread peace and stability in the region and the world.
Attacking Iran on the topic of nuclear issues is no small excuse, and the country’s enemies are trying to weaken Iran and the spread of unrest across the region, the Russian defense minister said.
Russia is closely monitoring all developments in the region and will cast its support behind Iran’s Islamic Republic, Shoigu said.
