  • Iranian official details preparedness, intelligence war: Exclusive

Major General Rasoul Sanaei-Rad, Political Advisor to the Office of Ideological and Political Guidance of the Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Armed Forces, told Al Mayadeen on Sunday that Iran was fully prepared for "Israel’s" recent attacks, including the targeting of scientific centers.

He stated that "Israel targeted scientific sites in Iran, but we had already taken precautionary measures and secured our scientific documents," noting that Iran anticipated aggression from the “malicious entity” and had implemented the necessary defensive steps to this end.

The major general emphasized that “Israel” never imagined Iran could target sites like the Weizmann Institute, adding, “Their mistake was assuming we lacked intelligence on the targets we struck.”

While acknowledging some damage to nuclear facilities, Sanaei-Rad dismissed claims that Iran’s nuclear program was destroyed, as suggested by US President Donald Trump. “Our nuclear knowledge lies in the minds of our youth, and we have the expertise to make major advancements in the future,” he asserted.

Sanaei-Rad said "Israel" believed it could change the regime within the Islamic Republic, with its actions tied to broader schemes such as the "New Middle East" project aimed at dividing Iran. He added that the United States intervened once "Israel’s" failures became scandalous. 

Speaking to Al Mayadeen, he revealed that the US deployed one of its most advanced radar systems to the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, suggesting that this was among the reasons Iran targeted the base in retaliation for the US complicity. 

"The Leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei made it clear, 'there will be no surrender to bullying. Iran is too big a bite to swallow,’ he said,” Sanaei-Rad recounted.

"What occurred was merely a pause in military operations, not a ceasefire," he emphasized, warning that any future miscalculation by "Israel" would provoke a response even more powerful and devastating than the 12-day war.

'Iran has not deployed its full arsenal yet' 

He said, "If they commit another foolish act, they should expect destruction even greater than that in Khan Younis," adding that Iran has not yet deployed the full arsenal it had prepared for Operation True Promise 3.

"We possess a substantial reserve force, particularly in missile capabilities, prepared for a prolonged confrontation,” he stated, adding that the damage inflicted by the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) demonstrated their strategic depth and formidable striking power.

Sanaei-Rad also highlighted to Al Mayadeen that confrontations with enemy intelligence operatives have become increasingly professional, reflecting Iran’s growing sophistication and expertise in the field of counterintelligence.

He concluded by affirming that the Palestinian Resistance has gained strength since Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, gaining critical operational experience in confronting and resisting the Israeli occupation.
