Major General Hassan Firuzabadi described by associates as a brilliant military tactician. Interestingly enough he is a devoutly religious man with a lot of compassion for people in general. He is a main regional player in the effort to destroy ISIL in Iraq an Syria, which he claims are being funded by the US and NATO.
The top commander of the Iranian Armed Forces said the US military planes are making regular flights to and from airports ISIL-controlled cities to supply the terrorist group with weapons, money and foodstuff. He warned that US actions are “ill advised from a military standpoint and are doomed to fail in the end.”
Note: Major General Hassan Firuzabadi is an Iranian military officer and the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces. He is the highest-ranking member of Iranian military after the commander-in-chief, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
“We have received reports that the US planes visit the ISIL(-controlled) airports,” Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Hassan Firouzabadi told reporters in Tehran on Saturday morning to mark the Army Day.
“The US shouldn’t supply weapons and money to ISIL and then apologizes and says that it has done a mistake. The Americans say that they want to confront the ISIL (but) we haven’t seen any practical measure but reconnaissance and surveillance operations,” he added.
Predicting that a cruel wave of terrorism will sweep Europe, the US and all mankind in the near future, Firouzabadi said all the world people, including those in the US and Europe, should try to fight against terrorism in defense of the right of living instead of providing them with weapons and huge sums of money that has made ISIL the best paid militant and armed group in the world.
“If the US is honest in its statements that it has not created the ISIL, it can fight against it easily and we hope that the US and British governments will fight against the ISIL even for the sake of their own nations,” he added.
In relevant remarks on Tuesday, Supreme Leader’s top adviser for international affairs Ali Akbar Velayati underlined that extremist groups, including the ISIL, were born and nurtured by the US.
