Iranian Nation Won 12-Day War As Enemies Achieved None of Their Goals: Senior Commander

“In the war that we had with the whole world three months ago, in which (the enemies) from the Great Satan (the US) to the Zionists, stood against the Islamic Revolution, the passage of time proved who won and who was defeated,” IRGC Deputy Commander Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi said on Thursday.

“We won this war while a coalition of those claiming to be world powers were together. What caused our victory? (It was) following the teachings of the Sacred Defense (the Iraqi-imposed war on Iran in the 1980s) and not bowing down to the arrogant.”

Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi added that among the enemies’ follies was that they announced all their goals before the war began on June 13.

“We lost many of our loved ones (in the war), but the enemies did not achieve any of his goals. The Islamic system was not overthrown, the Iranian nation was not humiliated, and our beloved Iran was not divided. To the contrary, they (the enemies) desperately asked for a ceasefire and until the last second, they were watching our missiles that were going to hit them.”

On June 13, Israel launched a blatant and unprovoked aggression against Iran, triggering a 12-day war that killed at least 1,064 people in the country, including military commanders, nuclear scientists, and 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 assault.
