The chief commander of Iran�s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says the United States is stuck between two "evil" choices of staying in Yemen�and facing defeat, or leaving the war and be stigmatized for fleeing. �����
�The enemy is caught between two evils. The [Islamic] Revolution has harnessed the enemy in such a way that if the enemy stays it should pay the price and if it leaves it has fled. The enemy will get shattered�if it stays in Yemen, and it would be [deemed] fleeing�if it leaves,� Major General Hossein Salami said during a ceremony to mark commanders on Wednesday.
He said that the Americans have failed even in employing their tactics in wars irrespective of their state-of-the-art arms and weapons.
�The army which is [believed to be] the world�s most modern army withdrew from Afghanistan so shamefully that it left behind most of its weapons,� he noted.
The US has been providing logistical support�and transferring spare parts to Saudi warplanes conducting air strikes against Yemen since the Riyadh-led military aggression against the impoverished country.
