Why it matters:
The statement describes the recent confrontation with the Israeli regime as a defining national victory. It also stresses Iran’s triumph over technologically superior adversaries through faith and resilience.
The big picture:
General Soleimani made the remarks during a commemoration ceremony to honor the Deputy Commander of the Imam Ali Security Command, Brigadier Gholamhossein Geybparvar, martyred during the 12-day Israeli aggression on Iran.
What he’s saying:
General Soleimani: “This victory came at a time when the American power structure was in the hands of an insane individual.”
“In this war, American military-industrial owners—who are all Zionists—supplied the most advanced weapons to the Zionist regime.”
“Yet the Iranian people, through faith and determination, overcame all these pressures.”
