Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force Commander, Major General Qassem Soleimani, blasted the recent remarks by former US Secretary of State's Special Adviser, Dennis Ross, warning that enemy politicians like him always attempt to create rift among the Iranian people.

"…those in the front of the enemies of the Revolution and the holy Islamic Republic always make their remarks with the aim of sowing discord and inspiring confrontation among the united and integrated lines of the revolutionary and brave people of Iran, which should never be heeded", General Soleimani said in a statement on Thursday.

General Soleimani also rejected speculations that he would be a candidate in the next year presidential election in Iran, and said he is a "soldier" at the service of the Islamic Republic and the Iranian people would always remain in peace.

"I urge all my dear brothers and sisters to avoid paying any attention to the enemies' deceptive and divisive remarks and never allow the valuable time of those people at the service of the nation be spent for the ominous goals of the enemies," General Soleimani added.

His remarks came after veteran US diplomat Dennis Ross raised some allegations against General Soleimani in an interview with the English section of the Saudi-owned London-based political news journal Majalla.
