Tehran – Saba:
Ali Shamkhani, the political advisor to Iran’s Islamic Revolution Leader, said on Saturday, "We knew we would be attacked and had prepared a plan to counter it. We are fully aware of our capabilities."
In a televised interview, Shamkhani added that the negotiations were never meant for reaching an agreement but were instead a deception.
According to the Mehr News Agency, he stated: "We knew the negotiations were not aimed at reaching a deal but at inflaming domestic tensions, creating chaos, and inciting protests. However, the people taught them a lesson and made them realize their foolishness."
He continued: "But we witnessed strange sympathy—sympathy stemming from an understanding of Iran’s importance and the scale of America and Israel’s deceit and cunning."
Shamkhani emphasized that he realized the precision of Iran’s strikes from the intensity of the foreign media’s outrage.
"I know why I was targeted for assassination, but I cannot discuss the reason now. However, it can be said that I hurt them deeply," he added.
Shamkhani also described the moment the terrorist Zionist regime targeted him and how he remained under rubble for three hours.
"After my house was hit, I was trapped under the debris for three hours. At first, I thought an earthquake had occurred, but when I heard the sounds of vehicles, I realized I had been targeted by the Zionist enemy," he said.
He affirmed: "I was never afraid, not even for a moment, during the Zionist aggression."
