Iran’s Army Chief Major General Amir Hatami has said that the Zionist enemy suffered a humiliating defeat during the 12-day war imposed against the country.
Speaking on the sidelines of the commemoration ceremony of 57 army forces martyred during the 12-day imposed war by the criminal Israeli regime against Iran, the Army chief noted that the Zionist enemy had sinister plans against the country but all their malicious plots were thwarted and finally, the enemy suffered a humiliating defeat.
Referring to the key role of martyrs in defending the country, Major General Hatami emphasized that the Zionist enemy had sinister conspiracies against the country but the brave Iranian armed forces thwarted all conspiracies waged against the country which led to the complete failure of enemy in the 12-day war imposed against the country.
“The enemy had sinister thoughts for the country, the nation, and the Islamic Establishment, but all of these thoughts and intentions were neutralized by the blood and efforts of the martyrs,” Major General Hatami underlined.
The enemy was unable to achieve its predetermined plans and programs and faced a humiliating defeat in strategy, he continued.
The Zionist regime waged an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran on June 13. It carried out airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear, military and residential sites that resulted in the martyrdom of over 1,000 people, including top military commanders, nuclear scientists and civilians.
The Iranian military forces started counterattacks immediately afterwards. The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Aerospace Force carried out 22 waves of retaliatory missile strikes against the Zionist regime as part of Operation True Promise III that inflicted heavy losses on cities across the occupied territories.
A ceasefire that came into force on June 24 brought the fighting to a halt.
