Iran’s top general to Al Mayadeen: 'Israel' suffered humiliating defeat, yet to face Iran
In an exclusive statement to Al Mayadeen, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, declared that all visible and hidden evidence confirms "Israel’s" “crushing and humiliating defeat” in its confrontation with Iran. He said the Zionist regime and its US backers sought not just to target Iran’s nuclear program but to “strike at the Islamic Republic" and fragment the country. A mission he confirms was decisively foiled by Iran’s armed forces, leadership, and people. Mousavi warned that if "Israel" repeats its “mistake,” it will face “the iron fist of the Iranian people and the devastating power of Iran’s military,” adding that "Israel" has not yet seen the full extent of Iran’s capabilities. He reaffirmed Iran’s unwavering support for Palestine, calling it a core principle of the Islamic Republic that will never be abandoned.
