Iran emerged victorious in Israeli-US war, imposed defeat on enemy: Senior cmdr.
A senior Iranian military commander says the Islamic Republic emerged victorious in the 12-day war of aggression by the United States and the Israeli regime in June and managed to impose defeat on the enemy.
“The enemy, using advanced weapons and full-scale hybrid warfare, sought to overthrow the Islamic establishment within a week, but it made a mistake in its calculations,” Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces for Cultural and Software Affairs, Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi, said in a ceremony to honor media activists and reporters on Thursday.
He added that the Iranian nation’s steadfastness, the wise leadership of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and great efforts of the Armed Forces played a crucial role in the country’s victory against the enemies in the imposed war.
He noted that many Western countries supported the Israeli regime in its imposed war on Iran, saying they had no choice but to propose a ceasefire.
The Iranian commander emphasized the importance of paying attention to soft and media war, and praised Iranian media workers and reporters who helped the brave fighters in the war and played an effective role in the country’s final victory.
He said media workers can build hope and confidence in the country and disappoint the enemy.
He once again affirmed the Armed Forces’ full preparedness to defend the country and stressed the importance of supporting them and reinforcing national coherence.
On June 13, Israel launched a blatant and unprovoked act of aggression against Iran, triggering a 12-day war that killed at least 1,064 people in the country, including military commanders, nuclear scientists, and ordinary civilians.
The United States also entered the war by bombing three Iranian nuclear sites in a grave violation of international law.
In response, the Iranian Armed Forces targeted strategic sites across the occupied territories as well as the al-Udeid air base in Qatar, the largest American military base in West Asia.
On June 24, Iran, through its successful retaliatory operations against both the Israeli regime and the US, managed to impose a halt to the terrorist aggression.
Iran’s Defense Minister Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh on Tuesday extolled the country’s cutting-edge military capabilities in the US-Israeli war, and said the Islamic Republic’s Armed Forces penetrated the occupying regime’s multi-layered defense systems and destroyed many of its targets with their advanced missiles.
