Hossein Salami, the Islamic RevolutionaryGuards Corps’ (IRGC) deputy commander in chief said: The mullah's rule "today reaches to the North of the Red Sea in the Bab-el-Mandeb, is present in Yemen, and geographically extends to North Africa." He also acknowledged that the regime’s "presence in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen… is to keep the danger away from our land."

Salami, also referred to the role of the IRGC in the bombing of the American Marine barracks in Lebanon. "In 1983, the flames of Islamic revolution flared among Lebanese youth for the first time, and in a courageous act, a young Muslim buried 260 US Marines under the rebels east of Mediterranean Sea," he said.

This commentary reflects that which was made by Mohsen Rafighdoost, former Minister of the IRGC, on July 20, 1987. "The US knows the explosives that mixed with ideology and sent up to 400 officers and Marines in the US Marine Barracks to hell; both the TNT and the ideology behind it came from Iran."(State-run daily,
