Senior IRGC adviser says corps’ letter to US represents voices of people

The IRGC’s senior adviser, Sardar Naqdi, said the corps’ letter to the American people is in fact a letter from the people. He described asking an artificial intelligence how much money would be needed to build houses for Afghanistan and said the AI responded that there are 6.5 million households in Afghanistan and $70 billion would be required to build one house for each. He added that the U.S. spent $3 trillion in Afghanistan and that its flag now lies under the feet of the Afghan people. (Source: باشگاه خبرنگاران جوان, Telegram)

Naqdi said the letter addresses fundamental questions, including how and why “we” were victorious — asking how a country with one percent of the U.S. military budget could prevail. (Sources: ایسنا, روزنامه جام‌جم, باشگاه خبرنگاران جوان, Telegram)

Asked why the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps released the letter at this time, Naqdi said it was to prompt American people to consider why the U.S. and Israel have suffered defeats over the past 48 years despite having far greater resources. He contrasted the U.S. military budget as 100 times larger and referenced Israel’s claimed status as a major power, asking why they have failed given their capabilities. (Source: روزنامه جام‌جم)
