A leading commander in Iran's Revolutionary Guards has claimed his country's ultimate aim is to turn the United States into "an Islamic Republic," and rejected any possibility of a thawing in relations between Tehran and "The Great Satan."

An undated video released by the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran, an Iranian opposition group, shows Commander Hassan Abbasi - who is also a member of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei's inner circle - making the comments during an address, in which he lashed out at unnamed Iranian officials for expressing hope that a nuclear deal with the US could open the door for wider ties.

Abbasi, a fierce Khamenei loyalist, insisted that any deal with America would be limited purely to Tehran's nuclear program.

"What do you want to solve with America? If you are referring to the Imam’s comments, Imam said America is the Great Satan," he declared, referring to comments by the Islamic Republic's first Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini, who led the Islamic Revolution.

"Has the Satanic nature of America been resolved?" he asked rhetorically.

"Imam said America is naturally a terrorist state. Is the US no longer a terrorist state? ...Imam said America is the mother of all corruptions. Is America no longer the mother of all corruptions?"

"Just as we defeated the United States’ policies in Syria and Lebanon and Iraq and Yemen in the Middle East, we will not rest until we make the United State an Islamic Republic too."

Iran and word powers, led by the US, have until a June 30 deadline to finalize a formal deal over Tehran's nuclear program.

A clear, no nonsense explaination of why Barack Obama wants to give them nuclear weapon capability.

Just as we defeated the United States’ policies in Syria and Lebanon and Iraq and Yemen in the Middle East.............................. Nah, just a couple of worthless Sect’ys of State following the orders of a worthless leader, made it easy?

(to Iran:)
How about if we give you some uranium and send some nuclear scientists to help you out? What if we just forget about the so-called sanctions?

[VerySadAmerican]

It started with the anti-Semite self proclaimed Christian Jimmy Carter. And Obama is going to finish the project.

[Dr. Thorne]

Martha MacCallum would be pleased about this.

[caww]

They make themselves very clear how they see...and what they say...Liberal/Progressives don't believe them and in fact rolling out the red carpet and bringing them here.....we are bringing into this country a foreign army!

“Just as we defeated the United States’ policies in Syria and Lebanon and Iraq and Yemen in the Middle East” Uncle Miltie:" He has a point."

Little more than two months after Obadinga pointed out Yeman as evidence of 'Peace in the Middle East'
It was taken over by extremists

Name one success of the White Mosque foreign policy in the last 6 years !
Me neither !!

[Natufian]

That dude is going to be really tired.

[Mastador1]

Fear not, Americans will put you to rest! We may have to wait until your bro is out of the White House, but the day will come.

[drypowder]

well, they’ve captured DC already

Way to to, Abassi; increase the pressure on obama, why don’t you? Here he’s got less than two years to create the Islamic Republic of America, and now this goober ups the ante. Looks like the lad in the White Mosque will just have to grab a third, and indefinite, term to do his bidding.
