Why it matters:
After the 12-day war, Israel tried to present itself as the victor through a media campaign. Still, the passage of time proved otherwise and showed that the request for a ceasefire came from Israel, and that if the war had continued, the regime would have faced certain defeat.
The big picture:
After the end of the war, published narratives showed that Israel had wanted a ceasefire. Also, the extent of the damage caused by Iranian missiles in Israel was not initially published due to severe censorship, but after the war and the ceasefire, some of that extensive damage became clear to everyone.
What he's saying:
Larijani said: The enemy thought that Islamic countries would not support Iran due to some differences or conservatism and that Iran would be isolated, but Muslim governments and nations supported Iran. Of course, the Europeans turned to the United States and Israel.
He added: The enemy thought that it had the most defensive capabilities, but the rain of Iranian missiles in the middle of the war had completely demoralized them. One of the regional country's officials said that on the first day of the war, Netanyahu called him and said that Iran's work was finished. On the fourth or fifth day of the war, I called him and asked, "How are you?" He said, "We have a lot of problems."
