Why it matters:
The Israeli regime's repetition of aggression on Iran could follow responses beyond prior strikes. Any renewed confrontation could cripple regional energy security and trigger a broader conflict.
The big picture:
Tensions were created by the Israeli regime's aggression on Iranian soil since June 13, and followed responses from Iran, unprecedented in scale and intensity. Iran’s use of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and suicide drones marked a new chapter in West Asia against the Israeli occupation forces.
- Though a ceasefire has been observed, Iranian officials stress it was a tactical pause, not a sign of Israeli de-escalation.
What he’s saying:
Brigadier General Ebrahim Jabari: “We are still in a state of war. The ceasefire came only because the enemy was overwhelmed.”
“If Israel attacks again, there will be no such thing as a stable energy market in the Persian Gulf.”
“We will plow through the occupied territories. Tel Aviv and Haifa have already been significantly destroyed.”
“Ballistic missiles with one- or two-ton warheads were used. Their impact was felt from north to south in Israel.”
“If war resumes, we are fully prepared, with drones, missiles, and intelligence superiority.”
“More than 200 enemy drones and several fighter jets were downed. Public cooperation helped expose enemy spies.”
"One-third of Tel Aviv and Haifa" has been plowed through, even though visuals have not been released."
Key points:
- Iran launched 200 missiles on the first night of the operation, catching Israel and the U.S. off guard.
- The latest attack included 40 precision-guided suicide drones that sent Israeli settlers into 24-hour shelter lockdowns.
- Iranian air defense also reportedly intercepted over 200 drones.
- Foreign inspectors working outside their professional scope were expelled following the attacks.
