Naghdi:
Annulment of sanctions on Sepah Bank and release of $1.7 billion was in return
for releasing U.S. spies
In a
speech in Tehran, IRGC Brigadier General Mohammadreza Naghdi, Commander of the
suppressive Basij force, described hostage-taking and blackmail as “the way to
get our right from the arrogant”. He referred to the arrest of U.S. citizens
and the detention of U.S. boats in the Persian Gulf as examples.
Naghdi
has personally commanded the attack on the British embassy in November 2011 and
the attack on the Saudi embassy in January of this year by the orders from
Khamenei. In his speech he said: “The annulment of sanctions of Sepah Bank and
getting back $1.7 billion of blocked Iranian assets after 36 years had nothing
to do with the negotiations and was simply the price paid by the U.S. to get
its spies freed” and this goes to “show that the language of force is the only
language U.S. understands… the way to get our right from the arrogant is to
become strong and we need to become stronger and stronger every day” (Fars News
Agency, affiliated with IRGC – January 20, 2016). This criminal IRGC element
added, “5-6 revolutionary guards arrest 10 transgressing U.S. marines in the
Persian Gulf and with God’s benevolence enemy’s plans were folded.”
