He further noted Americans in the region face “great risks” at this point. \u201cAmerica has lost its power, and even though they look powerful, they are frail<\/strong>,\u201d he said. The recently appointed head of the elite IRGC, Major General Hossein Salami.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what’s most likely to capture the West’s attention is his <\/strong>invoking the 9\/11 terror attacks: \u201cIn reality America\u2019s story is the same as the story of the World Trade Center that collapsed suddenly with one strike,\u201d<\/em><\/strong> he said<\/a>, using the example both as a threat and to claim the mighty US empire can be brought to its knees with one strategic blow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
