Iran's leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei said on Sunday that the recent military response targeting the Israeli occupation entity, which was dubbed Operation True Promise, was an achievement for the country's armed forces and showcased the willpower of the Iranian nation.

Sayyed Khamenei expressed appreciation for the performance of the armed forces in recent events, emphasizing that they demonstrated their capabilities and power, reflecting positively on the Iranian people.

Referring to the recent historic strike on "Israel", he explained that the important part was not the number of missiles launched nor how much hit their target, but it was how it reflected on the determination of Iranians and their armed forces on the international stage.

He also emphasized the importance of continually prioritizing innovation in weapons and tactics, as well as understanding and studying the enemy's strategies.

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi revealed Thursday that more than 10 countries attempted, using their technological capabilities, to thwart Operation True Promise but failed to achieve that.

The United States with all its capabilities, as well as France, other European countries, and some regional states, took part in intercepting Iranian missiles and drones launched toward Israeli targets in occupied Palestine, Raisi pointed out during a speech in the city of Shahrud, east of Tehran.

He indicated that the precise Iranian retaliatory strikes against "Israel" took place even though Iran did not employ the element of surprise but proceeded with the attack according to a prior announcement.

The Iranian President warned that if the Israeli occupation entity makes a mistake and attacks Iranian territories, Tehran's response will make "Israel" and its backers regret their actions.

In a related context, the Commander of the Aerospace Force of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, affirmed that his country confronted the Israeli occupation entity with minimal capabilities and outdated weapons.

Hajizadeh noted that Iran did not use any of its state-of-the-art "Khorramshahr," "Sejjil," "Haj Qasem," "Khaibar Shekan," or hypersonic missiles during Operation True Promise, highlighting that the aforementioned missiles enjoy heavy and high capabilities.
