Why it matters:
As the Israeli regime attacked Iran on June 13, all of a sudden and assassinated several top military commanders, it never imagined that Iran's armed forces' structure would be recovered in less than 24 hours.
The big picture:
Iran anticipated the recent Israeli aggression, with top commanders already stationed at their posts when the attack began. Taking rapid response and decisive actions, the Commander-in-Chief of Iranian Armed Forces, Ayatollah Khamenei, swiftly appointed new commanders within hours, ensuring continued military readiness.
- Iran had been poised for a new round of nuclear talks with the U.S., but those plans were upended by the sudden outbreak of the U.S.-Israeli plot against Iran.
What he's saying:
Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf: Personally, I believe that as the Prime Minister of the Zionist Regime, Netanyahu's animosity toward Iran, Iranians, and their beliefs is beyond his hostility toward the issue of Palestine.
"The current Iran, with its beliefs and strategic outlook, is not acceptable to the Zionist regime, which seeks territorial expansion. Backed fully by the U.S. and the West, they have stood against Iran—so even if we do not engage with them, they will engage with us".
"The nature of the Zionist regime is inherently terrorist. Anyone—be it an individual, group, organization, or country—who stands in their way is eliminated through criminal means, with no limits or regard for human rights, international law, or red lines."
"When we say they sought regime change, it isn't just about overthrowing the government—it is about dismantling Iran itself. They do not want a unified Iran with its current geography, because it has always posed a threat to them. The Iranian people have understood this well."
"When we say we bow in respect to our people—those who are aware of the moment, who analyze precisely, and who show up when it matters—it is for this very reason."
Status Quo:
Iran targeted the U.S. command center in southwest Asia—located in Qatar—with 14 missiles, and responded to Israel’s aggressions with further strikes. Israel became a “missile testing ground” for Iran. Unlike previous confrontations, this time Israel itself has experienced direct insecurity as a result of its military actions.
What's next:
More tough responses will await the Israeli regime if it is getting ready to attack Iran.
