Senior Iranian Commander Warns of US Soft War against Muslims

Commander of the Army Ground Force Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan underlined that the US and its western allies have hatched different plots to weaken the Muslim world, specially through soft warfare.
“Today, the Americans have embarked on direct or indirect confrontation against the Muslims and therefore in many countries, the Muslims have faced cruelty and oppression and are living under very hard conditions,” Pourdastan said in Tehran on Saturday.

“The US confronts Muslims indirectly through soft war and it has hatched long-term plots for cultural confrontation against Muslims,” he warned, asking Muslim nations to be vigilant against Washington’s schemes.

In relevant remarks in 2012, Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said that insulting the Islamic values is part of the enemy’s soft war against Muslims

Given the enemies’ tactic in restoring soft war against Muslims, Jafari said,

“In this soft war insulting the Muslim sanctities is also on the top of agenda notwithstanding the fact that perpetrators of such crimes will face the fury of Muslims.”

Major General Jafari pointed out that the enemies have targeted the beliefs and faith of the people through “soft war against us, specially the younger generation”.
