Senior IRGC official, Mohsen Rezaei
We have punished the Israelis severely until today, but it is not enough. Our punishment must be an insurance for the future so that the enemy does not dare to do this a second time.
The enemy intended to create chaos in the country by assassinating senior military commanders, but this attempt was thwarted in the first 48 hours.
In the next stage, it intended to turn Iran into Syria and plunge it into a 10-year period of insecurity, but today the Zionist regime itself has become Syria.
In just the past 48 hours, you saw that we employed a new tactic—a combination of Fattah and Sejjil missiles— and when these are used together, they truly create serious disruption in the enemy’s defense systems.
• Any ceasefire that is implemented now will lead to renewed war. We must not allow the enemy, which is currently in a weak position, to revive itself with a ceasefire.
• We have used less than 30% of our military capabilities. Part of the reason we are gradually escalating the war is to get people out of the area.
• All enriched materials have been transferred and are in safe places.
Netanyahu has told the US to either help him or declare a ceasefire.
The US entry to the war may be able to disable Fordow nuclear facility, but it cannot strengthen Israel in terms of defense any more than they are helping now.
Israel hit Natanz, Isfahan’s nuclear facility, Khandab, and Arak but those sites were already evacuated. All the materials they were looking to destroy have been evacuated to a safe place.
We have our nuclear scientists, our facilities that produce the necessary equipment for those targeted sites are still there, so what do they want to achieve with these hits?
The Iranian nation should not worry about the end of this war. Israel must be punished in such a way that it does not dare to create insecurity in Iran in the future years.
It was in February-March that we reached the conclusion in our analyses that there would certainly be a war. After reaching this war analysis, we increased our missile and cyber technology by 5x in just a few months.
To date, we have not used our land, sea, oil, and Strait of Hormuz capabilities, or our allies in other countries.
Our allies have sent requests to join the war, but we told them there’s no need yet. ✔️✔️✔️ (I do so hope this is not war propaganda)
We have repeatedly announced that settlers should evacuate from the vicinity of government, military, and intelligence centers in the occupied territories. Because we do not want to harm normal people.
One of the reasons we gradually increased the intensity of the missile strikes was to get people from occupied territories to evacuate.
They can’t build a command center next to the hospital and target us from there and expect from us that we don’t respond!
‘If we do not punish the enemy and he does not repent and surrender, war will continue’. And losses of continuing a war are unacceptable to us.
Thank you, Mohsen Rezaei!
Putin’s response to the question of helping Iran was quite surprising to me, he was even a bit dismissive. But i would say its more about not giving the western press jackals anything to run with than what’s actually happening. This was his approach through the entire interview. There are… Read more »
@AHH, Mohsen Rezaei confirms your view from a few days ago that Iran held off on its True Promise 3 because it had already chosen a greater path. Iran saw in Feb-March that war was coming and prepared for it. No deterrence was going to work, no more demonstrations or… Read more »
“(I do so hope this is not war propaganda)” Yes this is true. Putin directly addressed this issue yesterday at SPIEF presser. He made it clear they offered help over the years, but Iran was not receptive. Part of the problem is not pride or Persian insularity – it is… Read more »
I wonder if it’s only pride though? It seems to me that if Iran can handle Israel (and the western empire behind it) largely on its own, it will leave a much more enduring impression on whatever remains of Israel, and indeed upon all the world, than if it does… Read more »
Good points. Iran works to dismantle the western project in her region on her own.
She’s capable; the issue is cost. Would be less with alliance …
NB. this presstitute’s lies. He falsely imputes Iranian isolation, to urge his side’s suicide.
Same playbook as against “isolated Russia” in Feb 2022…
Of course we share your hopes dear Amarynth – regarding offers of support not being mere propaganda. It is hard to imagine it not being real. Iran is so important to the process of Eurasian integration as Pepe has constantly taught us. I read that Iranians (Persians) are a proud… Read more »
