Iran’s Intelligence Operations in Occupied Territories A Main Factor in Victory against Israel: IRGC

IRGC Spokesman Brigadier General Ali Mohammad Naini stressed that that intelligence operations inside the Zionist regime managed to resolve many existing ambiguities and further complete the IRGC’s information bank.

“This information bank was highly effective in each of the missile and drone attacks, using data obtained through hacking, infiltration, and the collection of new intelligence, and one of the main reasons for the enemy’s defeat in the war was their intelligence failure,” he said on Thursday.

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.

Referring to the success of the IRGC’s operations in uncovering and neutralizing terrorist networks and arms trafficking in Tabriz, Mazandaran, Isfahan, and other regions, General Naeini said “these measures played a decisive role in preventing enemy attacks.”

“Most of the counter-revolutionary leaders were arrested before the start of the war, and during the twelve days of the war, not a single terrorist operation by organized groups took place,” the deputy of public relations the IRGC stressed.

IRGC spokesman also touched on the extensive details of the enemy’s planning against the Islamic Republic before and during the 12-day war, saying, “The counter-revolutionaries had already divided responsibilities, and terrorist operations were planned for Tehran from the northwest, southeast, and even inside Iraq and Pakistan, but all of these plots were thwarted.”

Furthermore, he also pointed to special successes gained by the IRGC in confronting major arms smugglers in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region and Pakistan, as well as operations against the Mujahedin Khalq (MKO) terrorist group.

Elsewhere in his remarks, General Naeini referred to the sense of victory and confidence among the Iranian people following the Israeli-US military aggression against Iran, stressing, “Eighty-two percent of the nation’s people believe in Iran’s victory.”

“Credible global polls show that more than 60 percent of public opinion in the region and over 80 percent of the Iranian people believe that Iran emerged victorious in the war, and that the enemy failed to achieve any of its strategic objectives, including creating a rift between the nation and the government. On the contrary, national cohesion was strengthened,” he emphasized.

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.

“Despite sanctions and pressures, the country’s economy did not collapse, prices stabilized, and daily life continued. The chain of command, control, and response was preserved and implemented quickly. Even with the martyrdom of some commanders, operations continued without interruption, and more than 120 countries and international organizations condemned the actions of the Zionist regime,” General Naeini added.

Separately on Thursday, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces for Cultural and Software Affairs, Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi, also stressed that Iran emerged victorious in the 12-day war of aggression in June, saying that the enemy “made a mistake in its calculations” that led to its defeat against the Islamic Republic.
