\n tehran
\nIran\u2019s army chief, Major General Ali Abdollahi, said on Sunday that Tehran would not yield to pressure from the United States, and that Washington\u2019s turn to \u201ceconomic, psychological and cognitive warfare\u201d would fail just as its \u201cmilitary aggression\u201d had, according to Press TV.
\nPress TV reported that Abdollahi said the US was trying to offset its \u201cstrategic shortfalls and battlefield setbacks\u201d by shifting the fight onto other fronts.
\nAbdollahi underlined that Iran would not surrender, and that the enemy would not prevail in a \u201ccombined campaign of economic pressure, media operations and cognitive warfare against a nation that stands on divine and national foundations\u201d.
\nHe further described Washington\u2019s expectation of Iranian capitulation as a \u201cfalse illusion\u201d that would never be realised.
\nAbdollahi noted that for more than 80 years, the United States had grown used to facing no refusal from other countries, adding that its assumption before moving against Iran, that the \u201cIranian people would submit unconditionally\u201d, was therefore a \u201cfalse dream\u201d.
\nIran\u2019s army chief stated that American and Israeli enemies were now attempting to close the gap left by their military and regional defeats through \u201csoft war, cognitive operations and economic coercion\u201d, according to Press TV.
\n\u201cThe world of the future will be different from that of the past,\u201d Abdollahi said, adding that this shift would inevitably mean a decline in US power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
