Tehran - Saba:
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard confirmed that "Iranian missile strikes and drones completely crippled the Zionist enemy."
Ebrahim Jabbari, an advisor to the commander-in-chief of the Revolutionary Guard, said that "in their initial response, the Iranian armed forces launched 200 missiles at Tel Aviv," noting that "the CIA's estimates about our country date back 10 years and were wrong."
Jabbari accused "Netanyahu of trying to portray himself as victorious through false and fabricated media outlets, while their situation during the war was dire." He emphasized that "if the war continues, Iran will plough the occupied territories with missiles."
He warned that "if Iran is attacked, there will be no such thing as stable energy in the region," emphasizing that "the enemy has assassinated a number of Iranian leaders, but has failed to create an atmosphere of war within Iran."
The Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, stated on Wednesday that "if any evil comes from the enemies, our response will be more crushing than before."
Iran's official news agency, IRNA, confirmed on Wednesday that Major General Mousavi's remarks came during a memorial service for the martyrs of the Zionist aggression against Iran. He noted that "all clear and hidden evidence confirms that the Zionist entity suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Iran."
Major General Mousavi pointed out that "for years, the Zionists and their supporters have been mobilizing their forces to target the Islamic Republic of Iran," noting that "the enemies' goal was to strike a blow at the core of the Islamic regime in Iran and divide the country, not the Iranian nuclear issue."
The Iranian Chief of Staff continued: "The enemies were defeated by the strength and steadfastness of the Iranian people and armed forces, and the Israelis were forced to request a ceasefire so they could reorganize their affairs, hoping they could later take action."
Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi continued: "If a new phase is entered and the war drags on, the Zionist enemy will see Iranian capabilities that have not yet been utilized."
Mousavi reiterated that Iran's support for Palestine and its people is among Tehran's fundamental principles.
