ABNA24 - Spokesperson for Iran’s Army Brigadier General Mohammad Akrami-Nia emphasized that the Americans, especially US President Donald Trump, have proven that they cannot be trusted, stressing Tehran's full readiness to respond to any assault.
Brig. Gen. Akrami-Nia stressed on Thursday the enemy agreed to Iran’s 10-point proposal for a ceasefire with the United States since it failed to achieve its declared and covert objectives in the war.“The enemies entered the war with an act of aggression and pursued objectives on both declared and covert levels. At the macro level, their goal was based on overthrowing the establishment of the Islamic Republic, making a regime change, and preparing the ground for the country’s disintegration,” he said on Thursday.Along with such goals, he added, the enemies also pursued “multiple operational and tactical objectives".“An assessment of the war according to battlefield and strategic aspects shows that the enemy failed to achieve any of these goals, including macro, operational, and covert [objectives], and suffered a multilayered defeat in practice,” the spokesperson emphasized.He noted that the enemy’s exposed weakness and the Iranian Armed Forces’ promotion of operational experience were the second major achievements of Iran in the US-Israel war.“One of the enemy’s initial goals was to impose a ground war and expand the conflict into close-range combat, but this goal failed due to the Iranian Armed Forces’ effective deterrence and operational readiness,” the military official explained.
In the field of air and air defense, he added, Iran’s Armed Forces succeeded in tracking and downing a number of the enemy’s “most advanced warplanes” using the integrated air defense network.The destruction of more than 170 advanced drones of the enemy proves the effectiveness of Iranian defensive and offensive systems to detect, track, and engage the enemy at various tactical and operational levels, he reiterated.The spokesman noted that Iran’s downing of the enemy’s fighter jets — some of them among the world’s most sophisticated military assets — created deterrence and provided the Armed Forces with important experience to counter advanced threats.Pointing to regional developments, Akrami-Nia stated that increased coordination and enhanced power of the resistance front were among the other important achievements of the war.
“Although the resistance forces have been present in the region for years, it was the first time that we witnessed the implementation of coordinated and joint operations at this level,” he noted, emphasizing that growing synergy within the resistance front can definitely enhance the effectiveness of operations and the enhancement of deterrence power at a regional level in the future.Referring to the strategic consequences of the anti-Iran war for Washington, he said, “One of the important achievements of this war was the loss of regional countries’ trust in the United States of America.”According to the spokesperson, over the past decades, particularly after Britain’s diminished role in the 1970s, the US expanded its presence in the region and portrayed itself as a security guarantor after establishing multiple bases along the Southern part of the Persian Gulf region and selling large quantities of weapons to regional states.“However, the war showed that the US lacks the capability to effectively defend its allies. Iran’s Armed Forces succeeded in targeting all US bases in the region, rendering them effectively inoperable,” Akrami-Nia added.
He stated that American personnel at bases in the region are now taking shelter in bunkers and have lost the ability to use the facilities.“This issue dealt a serious blow to US credibility in security matters in the region,” he emphasized.
The US and Israel started a fresh round of aerial aggression on Iran in late February, some eight months after they carried out unprovoked assault on the country.The strikes led to the martyrdom of late Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, and hundreds of people, including women and children, as well as military commanders.Iran began to swiftly and firmly retaliate against the raids by firing barrages of missiles and drone attacks on the Israeli-occupied territories as well as on US bases in regional countries.In the early hours of Wednesday, after 40 days of war, Iran and the United States agreed to a two-week ceasefire brokered by Pakistan and the resumption of negotiations based on Tehran's 10-point proposal.
