Stating that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and other devoted forces work for the development and greatness of Iran, the President said that the United States and the Zionists hold grudge against the IRGC because it has always been alongside the people and the great flagship of resistance.

Speaking on Tuesday at the ceremony for 13^th National Day of Nuclear Technology, Dr Hassan Rouhani said, “It was the IRGC that saved the peoples of the region from terrorists”.
Congratulating the birthday of Imam Hussein (PBUH), the President said, “The culture of Imam Hossein (PBUH) has been the main factor of great victories of Muslim nations, especially the great Iranian nation against many conspiracies”.
On the reason for forming the IRGC, he said, “After the victory of the glorious revolution in Iran, many enemies in the region and the world wanted our revolution not to last more than a few weeks and months, so they hatched plots against us, one of which was forming a campaign of terror against the Iranian nation”.
“The enemies of the Revolution formed and trained terrorist groups and sponsored them to kill our people and officials, so that Iran would return to the days when it was under the American domination,” he said.
Dr Rouhani added, “At that time, we needed a pious, devoted corps to stand against the US and guarantee peace and security for Iran”.
He then referred to the 8-year Imposed War with Iraq, adding, “The day our enemies imposed the war on us, announcing that they would have an interview in Iran the next week, all forces, at the top of them the IRGC, stood against the enemies that were armed to the teeth”.
