RNA - "The sanctions are not effective. Didn’t the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) develop the missiles which endanger the Zionist regime and the US interests 2,000km away in the sanctions era?" General Heidari said, addressing a forum in Tehran on Monday.
Elsewhere, he referred to the remarks by Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei that there will be no Zionist regime in the next 25 years, and said, "With God's help, we should act in a way that the regime's survival comes to an end sooner than 25 years."
His remarks alluded to Ayatollah Khameneis' remarks in 2015 who described Israel as a "fake" regime, saying that there won't be any Israel in 25 years from now.
"Some of the Zionists have said that given the results of the nuclear negotiations (between Tehran and the world powers), they have been relieved of concerns about Iran for 25 years, but we tell them that basically, you will not see the next 25 years and with God's grace, nothing under the name of the Zionist regime will exist in the region by then," Ayatollah Khamenei said, addressing a large number of Iranians in Tehran.
He added that the heroic spirit and morale of Muslim fighters will not let the Zionists feel comfort and tranquility in the next 25 years.
