PressTV - 'Collapse of US empire definite'
Deputy Head of Iran's Armed Forces Joint Chiefs of Staff Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri
A senior Iranian commander says the collapse of the United States is definite, calling on the elite to prepare for a world without “the American empire.”
“The decline of the US empire is definite. Today, the United States is considered the biggest debtor among all the countries of the world,” Deputy Head of Iran's Armed Forces Joint Chiefs of Staff Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri said at a Sunday speech in the Iranian capital, Tehran.
“The elite should draft a new global management model and plan for a world without the American empire,” he added
The commander referred to the social and political discrimination in the US that have pushed the American society to the brink of devastation.
Washington is struggling with its worst economic downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
According to the US Department of Labor, the number of jobless individuals in the country hit 14,100,000 in June, reflecting an unemployment rate of 9.2 percent.
Amid the ongoing financial crisis in the US, Standard & Poor's credit ratings agency has downgraded the United States' rating from the top AAA to AA+ for the first time in the history of ratings.
Jazayeri also pointed to the popular uprisings in the Arab world and said the focus of hegemonic powers is on the greater Middle East, which has been undergoing significant developments and at the heart of which lies the teachings of the Islamic Revolution.
He added that in this “strategic region the US is viewed as the most hated of countries.”
Since January, two revolutions have led to the downfall of US-backed regimes in Tunisia and Egypt.
Other popular uprisings have hit Libya, Yemen, Bahrain and the wave of protests is spreading to other Arab countries.
