Iran fighting for security of region, Muslims: Military spokesperson

Iran is not only defending itself in the face of the US-Israeli aggression, but it is fighting for the security of the entire region and all Muslims, says a spokesperson for the Iranian Armed Forces.

Speaking on Saturday, spokesperson for Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters Lieutenant-Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaqari said Iran is being benevolent with regard to the situation in the Strait of Hormuz.

“Our focus is on ensuring the security of our land and region, and now you see the results; we speak to you in the language of strength,” he stated.

Zolfaqari also noted that the path to defeating the enemies is through “resistance.”

He asserted that the enemies understand that prolonging the war would lead to further devastation of their already ruined and unrecoverable bases.

He described the seedling of the Islamic Revolution as having grown into a robust, deeply rooted, and unshakeable tree.

“We are grieving, but we are not tired,” Zolfaqari stated. “Our losses are our driving force to crush you.”

The spokesperson further emphasized that in line with the continued ascendancy of the Iranian nation and its armed forces, they will not permit the enemy to replicate their “poison.”

Reiterating that the strategy for their defeat has been learned through resistance, Colonel Zolfaqari declared that the shift in the balance of power, which occurred some time ago, is now audible as the “siren of death.”

The official stated that the conflict will persist until the option of aggression against Iranian soil is permanently removed from the criminals’ agenda and strategy.

“These lawless, borderless, savage child-killers, for whom crime and oppression are constant habits, must understand,” Zolfaqari said, adding that “these ignoramuses have never understood why they are repeatedly and disgracefully defeated in every battle.”

He further said that the “flawless and unprecedented execution of our offensive and defensive measures has revealed Iran’s mighty hand in the enemy’s penetrable skies.”

The US and Israel started a new round of assaults on Iran on February 28, some eight months after they waged a war of aggression against the country.

Iran immediately began to retaliate by launching barrages of missile and drone attacks on the Israeli-occupied territories as well as on US bases and interests in regional countries.
