Iranian missile force commander: “The Americans are telling [us]: if you conduct a test or maneuver, don’t mention it”

May 18, 2016 7:37 am By Robert Spencer

Obama appears intent on covering up just how damaging his Iran nuclear deal really is, and how brazenly the Iranians are flouting even its toothless provisions.

Amir-Ali-Hajizadeh

“IRGC Aerospace And Missile Force Commander: The Americans Are Telling Us ‘Don’t Talk About Missile Affairs, And If You Conduct A Test… Don’t Mention It,'” MEMRI, May 14, 2016:

Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the Aerospace and Missile Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), said at a conference of religious students in Qom on May 14, 2016:

“The arrogance [i.e. the U.S.] is trying to create [among us] the belief that Iran is at a crossroads, and that it has no choice but to compromise with America or be eternally subjected toAmerican [sic] pressure and the problems that stem from that… At the same time, within Iran the belief has taken root that it is not possible to solve [Iran’s] problems without America…

“If we stand fast against this move by the Americans, who have stolen the funds of the [Iranian] nation, they will abandon this habit [of thievery].But if we compromise with them, the[ir] thievery will end up [taking] $40-$50 billion of Iran’s assets and its blocked funds. The Americans understand only the language of force; they do not understand the language of reason. They cannot be trusted. We must face them down firmly, and we must act. If we do not, we will witness daily their exaggerated and evil demands.

“At this time, the Americans are telling [us]: ‘Don’t talk about missile affairs, and if you conduct a test or maneuver, don’t mention it.’ If we agree to this, they will advance another step, and say: ‘Don’t conduct [a missile test] at this time, and also don’t do it in the Persian Gulf region.’ After that, they will tell us: ‘Why do you need your missiles to have a range of 2,000 km [anyway?]?’…

    Can anyone not see this and NOT know this man is well-able to sabotage the West to his real religious ideology. NO WONDER he called off effective strikes against ISIL in Syria+Iraq, no wonder he did a BAD deal with Iran… it all makes sense. PLEASE publish his smug face in that salute beside a terrorist warrior and flag doing same. MAKE THIS STINK STICK.

    I wonder WHICH Americans are telling Iranians to not tell anyone if they test missiles? Obama and Kerry. Has to be. So our “President” doesn’t want Americans to know Iran is renigging on the deal so no one talks about his major screw up! This is treason! Five months till November! Thank God!

      While I’m be weary of taking anything Iranians say at face value, it does sound the kind of think the feckless Obama administration would do, doesn’t it?

        Yes, “please don’t tell us” does sound exactly like something John Kerry and the other Barry Girls would propose, as a “nuanced” response that would go down well at dinner parties in Georgetown.

        If the U.S. did request that the Iranians keep tests quiet, then Hajizadeh is deliberately showing up the U.S., perhaps to extract even further concessions.

        It is worth remembering that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) (largely modeled on National Socialist Germany’s SA/SS) is in competition with the country’s conventional armed forces, hence the need for headline-grabbing initiatives.

        True, Angemon–I take everything the Iranians say with a huge grain of salt, but this sounds very much in line with what Obama and Kerry would say.

      It amazes me how the entire Republican party isn’t screaming for his and Hillary’s heads. What more treasonous acts do either of them have to commit before they are rode out on a rail? Is the entire government so corrupt they fear being called out by each other for their backdoor business practices? Where the hell did the sense of patriotism go? At minimum you’d think the Republicans would jump at the chance to discredit the Dhimmi-crats. Regardless of how much they hate Trump and if that were even the reason why nothing is being done, the fact that they will let Iran become so friggin dangerous and rub it in the world’s face and not chase the Obama and Kerry and Hilary that allowed this to occur is just insane. The good old USA is turning into a sorry-ass collection of wusses. Where the hell is John Wayne? I worry tremenously what Obama will yet do.

        Firefox, you worry, you and a hundred million other Americans! People HAVE called for Obama’s impeachment, but it’s like trying to swim from France to Florida. The whole dadburned country is stymied for some reason. There are small groups who speak up, but even they get shut down by whoever! (Facebook REMOVED my Charlie Hebdo cartoon RIGHT I think it’s going to take another MY PAGE) If that doesn’t say how deeply we armchair rebels are being screw-tin-ised, I don’t know what doea.

        Do you see how screwed up the words are in the above paragraph? If I am talking about kittens, this never happens, but if I am talking Islam, it happens just like the above. It gets so frustrating trying to REDO all that I write.

        Anyway, I was going to say, I think it is going to take another catastrophic event with Islam involved, for Americans to say ENOUGH and get out on the streets to protest.

        It sounds paranoid, but “they” have way more control of access to our devices than we give them credit for.

    Congressman Forbes R- VA after reading the confidential report stated that our US navy men that were captured early this year were detained unlawfully. Whatever Obama touches it always turns out worse than we first thought, every time. A couple acts of war by Iran already and the POTUS “apologizes for it” or says “don’t tell us”. We are just about undone if we weren’t already.

    Iranian missile force commander: “The Americans are telling [us]: if you conduct a test or maneuver, don’t mention it”
    …………………………..

    Covering up evil.

    That the Iranians are pretending that this appeasement is actually aggression from the US makes this story all the more grotesque.

    And just the other day ,the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Navy(Iran has 2 Armies,2 Air forces,2 Navies,and 2 Missile Forces,the Regular Iranian Armed Forces and the Revolutionary Guards Total and Complete parallel military,only better equipped and funded

      Despite what the media love to tell you, IRGC stands for ISLAMIC Revolutionary Guard Corps.

      Of course, to admit this gets dangerously close to saying that there is a connection to, uh, the Religion of Peace.
