Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has accused the United States and Israel of maintaining an "illegitimate" influence in the region, demanding their withdrawal in a statement. The group framed their presence as a threat to regional sovereignty, labeling it as "vile and criminal." Tensions between Iran and these two nations have long centered on geopolitical rivalries and military posturing. The latest remarks underscore the ongoing diplomatic and security challenges in the Middle East.


The IRGC says the US and Israel "must accept the region's freedom from their vile and criminal presence".
