Tehran, IRNA - Head of Iran Civil Defense Organization Brigadier General Gholamreza Jalali said that the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) forces’ saving Iranian tanker subject to US piracy recalled US humiliation in 1979 when Iranian students occupied the American Embassy, known as the espionage den.

In a message on Thursday on the occasion of National Day of Fighting against Global Arrogance, Jalali said that the era of US decline has begun and the signs of its decline emerge one by one.

He noted that the Persian Gulf has become the location of US decline, referring to the recent IRGC Navy’s encounter with US military ships, bringing back the tanker carrying Iranian oil confiscated by the Americans.

Jalali called the event a reminder of US humiliation in November 1979 when its embassy in Tehran was occupied by students.
