Iranian Military Delivers ‘Severe, Historic’ Blow to ‘israel’, Says Pezeshkian

On Tuesday, Masoud Pezeshkian stated that the Israeli regime was compelled to unilaterally cease its hostilities towards the Islamic Republic following a “severe and historic” retaliation executed by the Iranian nation and its military forces.

In a message directed to the populace, he praised the nation for its “epoch-making” achievements and lauded their “courageous steadfastness,” which he credited with paving the way to victory.

He stated that the entirety of the pride associated with this triumph is attributed to the great nation of Iran, which takes pride in its rich civilizational legacy.

The Israeli government concluded its 12-day military offensive against Iran early Tuesday morning, following significant resistance from Iranian armed forces.

In a significant escalation, Iranian armed forces have executed 22 phases of Operation True Promise III, launching hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones, including multi-warhead systems, targeting key Israeli military installations within the occupied territories. These sites have reportedly been utilized by Israeli forces for initiating assaults. According to the Secretariat of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, this robust military response compelled Israel to unilaterally cease its offensive against Iran.

Israel is enduring losses deemed unimaginable, casting a shadow of uncertainty over the nation.

Pezeshkian reported that the adversary had endured “unimaginable” losses due to the retaliation, even amid the stringent media censorship imposed by the regime.

The Iranian president asserted that the Israeli regime’s adventurism and belligerent stance instigated the conflict, while the Iranian nation played a crucial role in concluding the hostilities by confronting the aggressor and compelling it to withdraw.

The statements were made following reports from American media that the regime had requested Iran, via Western intermediaries, to halt the retaliatory strikes in light of the extensive damage inflicted on the occupied territories due to continuous Iranian missile bombardments.

Trump announced the unilateral suspension of the regime’s hostilities towards Iran early Tuesday morning.

In a significant development just a day prior to a major announcement, Iranian military forces launched a series of missile strikes targeting al-Udeid, the premier military base for Washington in the West Asia region, situated in Qatar.

In reaction to what was described as American aggression targeting Iranian nuclear facilities, which officials claim contravenes international law, the commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has issued a stern warning to the United States. The commander cautioned the US that any further acts of aggression would be met with a “historic lesson.”

Iran has issued a stern warning, stating that aggressors will invariably face steep consequences for their actions.

President Pezeshkian stated that the aggressors were unsuccessful in their attempts to dismantle Iran’s infrastructure, disrupt its peaceful nuclear energy program, and provoke social unrest.

The Israeli regime and its allies have experienced not only a setback but also a significant blow to their perceived “aura of invincibility,” as Iran delivered a formidable response, leading to considerable damage to key installations and strategic centers, as noted by the president.

The broader circumstances, he noted, convey a definitive statement that “engaging in adventurism against the formidable Iranian nation comes at a steep price.” He suggested that had they perceived any prospect of victory, they would not have consented to a ceasefire. Iranian citizens share their perspectives on the truce between Iran and Israel.

Iran has declared that the acts of its adversaries will be marked as a betrayal, ensuring that history will not overlook these actions.

Pezeshkian highlighted that the aggression targeting Iran occurred despite the Islamic Republic’s diplomatic efforts to prevent military conflict.

He alluded to the indirect negotiations being conducted between Iran and the United States, facilitated by Oman’s mediation. These talks, however, faltered as a result of what Tehran views as Washington’s excessive demands.

He stated that history would not overlook the betrayal and unfulfilled promises from Iran’s adversaries, who engaged in aggression and invasion even as they participated in negotiations.

The Israeli government initiated an attack on Iran merely two days ahead of the planned sixth round of indirect negotiations in Muscat, which ultimately resulted in the cancellation of the talks.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, serving as the chief nuclear negotiator, declared that negotiations cannot proceed while the United States remains complicit in Israeli aggression towards Iran.
