The remarks come as Tehran has vowed to respond to an Israeli regime’s aggression against its soil last Saturday which was largely repelled, yet claimed the lives of four servicemen.
The Islamic Republic launched some 200 missiles towards Israel’s military and intelligence bases on October 1 as part of Operation True Promise 2.
It was carried out in response to Israel’s assassination of former Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, and the killing of a senior military advisor of Iran in Beirut, Lebanon.
“Today, it is the US that is observing its political sunset,” Major General Hossein Salami said in an address to a gathering of people marking the National Day of Fighting against Global Arrogance in Tehran on Monday.
He noted that the Americans and Israelis have thoroughly approached their collapse, warning Washington and Tel Aviv that the resistance forces will respond to them at an appropriate time.
The commander added that the tragic events in Gaza and Lebanon debunk American human rights, slamming the US as the root cause of political and military turmoil in the world although it claims to be advocating democracy and freedom.
In remarks on Saturday, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei underscored that the actions of the enemy will not go unanswered by those who are working to fight them on behalf of the Iranian nation, and that such actions will not be forgotten.
The Leader asserted that both the Zionist regime and the US will undoubtedly receive a crushing response for their actions against the Iranian nation and the resistance front.
Moscow has lost 699,090 soldiers in Ukraine since the beginning of its full-scale invasion on Feb. 24, 2022, the General Staff noted.

It comes as the United States announced that Russian President Vladimir Putin has not achieved a single one of his strategic objectives after nearly 1,000 days of full-scale war against Ukraine.
“Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky didn’t flee. Kyiv didn’t fall. And Ukraine didn’t fold,” US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in his op-ed published by Foreign Affairs.
Putin’s original goals in his full-scale invasion of Ukraine launched in early 2022 were to “liberate the Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts, “demilitarize and denazify” the country which in the Kremlin’s eyes, envisioned the removal of its Jewish president, and the occupation of its capital city Kyiv.
After swiftly failing to achieve these goals, with the exception of Russian forces occupying all of Luhansk Oblast, Putin was forced to lower his ambitions and said Russia’s “main goal” was to capture all of Ukraine’s eastern Donbas area that also includes the adjacent Donetsk Oblast.
According to Austin, Russia has paid “a staggering price for Putin’s imperial folly”, with more than $200 billion squandered.
The event was inaugurated by the Iranian Vice President and Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), Mohammad Eslami, amo g others.

Eslami emphasized the importance of committed participation in the frontiers of knowledge for national progress. “For advancement, we must move powerfully at the edge of knowledge,” he added.
H reaffirmed the strong and capable presence of the atomic energy organization in all areas and the significance of the collaboration between research and knowledge-based sectors.
Major General Hossein Salami on Sunday released a message on the occasion of the National Day against Global Arrogance, which marks the anniversary of the seizure of the US embassy in Tehran back in 1979.
The IRGC commander warned the US, as the archenemy of the Iranian nation, and its “rabid dog”, namely the “criminal and terrorist Zionist regime”, that the Islamic resistance forces in the region will give a crushing response to the front of evil.
In this course, he added, the resistance front and Islamic Iran will equip themselves with whatever is necessary to confront and overcome the enemy.
Major General Salami also emphasized that the resistance forces would not feel intimidated by the threats and the hue and cry from the evil rulers in Washington and Tel Aviv.

According to the survey, commissioned by Action for Humanity and conducted by the YouGov pollster between October 16 and 17, the figure comes up to a staggering three in five among supporters of the Labour Party, which currently holds power in the United Kingdom.
The poll showed that 76% of Labour voters continue to back an end to British arms transfers to the Tel Aviv regime.
Furthermore, the total number of Britons that would oppose a ban is lower than 1 in 5, compared to 3 in 5 that would support one.
“The majority of people rightly feel the government is not doing enough to stop war crimes from happening. The overwhelming majority of the public demands that the UK government immediately cease all arms transfers to Israel, not just 10%, and take all actions to bring about a sustainable ceasefire,” Charles Lawley, the director of communications and advocacy at Action for Humanity, said.
“We believe that, unless the UK government stops ignoring the public, they will at best be impotent in the atrocities being committed in Gaza and Lebanon [and] at worst be complicit in them,” he added.
The Zionist regime has continued its devastating offensive on the Gaza Strip since a cross-border incursion by Hamas last October, despite a United Nations Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire.
More than 43,000 people have since been killed, mostly women and children, and over 102,000 injured, according to local health authorities.
The Israeli onslaught has displaced almost the entire population of the territory amid an ongoing blockade that has led to severe shortages of food, clean water and medicine.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza.
The committee will be established by presidential decree from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, the official said, adding that it will include independent figures.
According to the security official, the Egyptian-sponsored meeting aims to achieve Palestinian unity and prevent the separation of the West Bank from the Gaza Strip.
He added that Hamas insists on addressing all issues related to the conflict comprehensively, including the withdrawal of Israeli forces, the prisoner exchange, and the entry of humanitarian aid. Hamas fears that if these issues are handled separately, Israel may resume its attacks on the besieged enclave after securing the release of Israeli hostages.
The official affirmed that Egypt is making intensive efforts to resume negotiations for a Gaza ceasefire, which have been suspended since July, noting that Cairo continues to work with Palestinian and Israeli parties to secure a truce and facilitate increased humanitarian aid into the besieged enclave.
The Israeli army has continued a deadly onslaught in northern Gaza since early October to reportedly prevent the Palestinian resistance group Hamas from regrouping amid a siege on the area. Palestinians, however, accuse Israel of seeking to occupy the area and forcibly displace its residents.
More than 1,200 people have been killed in northern Gaza since the offensive began, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
The onslaught is the latest episode in a brutal Israeli war on Gaza since an attack by Hamas in October last year, despite a United Nations Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire.
More than 43,300 people have since been killed, mostly women and children, and over 102,000 others injured, according to local health authorities.
The Israeli onslaught has displaced almost the territory’s entire population amid an ongoing blockade that has led to severe shortages of food, clean water, and medicine.

The statement came as the Lebanese Health Ministry updated the death toll from Israeli attacks on the country to at least 2,968 people. Another 13,319 have been wounded.
The Lebanese government reported some 1.2 million people have been displaced, while the International Organization for Migration said its count shows at least 842,648 people have been forced to flee their homes.
The 2006 war killed 1,191 people in Lebanon, while more than 900,000 fled their homes, according to the International Committee of the Red Cross.
The situation has escalated anew, due to Israel’s forced displacement orders for the residents of eastern Baalbek and southern Nabatieh, OCHA said.
The toll on the population has been exacerbated by the destruction of critical infrastructure, including healthcare, it added.
The UN’s humanitarian agency, citing figures from the World Health Organization (WHO), added there had been 36 Israeli attacks on healthcare facilities since the escalation with Hezbollah in September.
It noted 85 health workers have been killed and 51 others wounded while they were on duty between September 17 and October 31.
It announced medical first responders continued to operate in “highly dangerous situations”.
Israel launched a massive air campaign last month in Lebanon against what it claims are Hezbollah targets in an escalation in a year of cross-border warfare between Israel and the group since the start of Israel’s brutal onslaught on the Gaza Strip.
Israel expanded the conflict by launching an incursion into southern Lebanon on Oct. 1.
The rallies also mark National Student Day, which is the anniversary of the US Embassy takeover in Tehran in 1979.
Every year, Iranians take to the streets on this day to show their anger at the US hostility toward their country over the past decades.
This year’s central theme is “America, the Axis of Evil in the World.”
In the capital Tehran, the rallies commenced at Palestine Square and proceeded towards the embassy a building that used to be the US embassy which is known as the Den of Espionage in Iran.
On November 4, 1979, university students seized the embassy, which had become a center of espionage following the victory of the Islamic Revolution.
The students later published documents proving that the compound was engaged in plans and measures to overthrow the Islamic Republic.
This year’s event is titled “the Caravan to Al-Quds” to express solidarity with Palestinians amid incessant Israeli onslaught against the people of Gaza and Lebanon.
Throughout the route, various cultural stations set up by community organizations and students explain the nature of ‘arrogance’ through creative initiatives.
