SAEDNEWS: Iranian General Ahmad Vahidi says that the Israeli regime is using threats and propaganda to cover up defeat in the 12-day war and its growing isolation.
Iranian Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, stated that Israel is attempting to conceal a severe defeat in the recent 12-day conflict through threats, media campaigns, and political maneuvers.
Speaking to Al Mayadeen, Vahidi addressed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s upcoming visit to the United States and ongoing Israeli threats against Iran, noting that the Zionist entity is resorting to psychological warfare to distort reality.
“Israel is seeking to project an image that does not reflect conditions on the ground,” Vahidi said, adding that the country faces serious internal and strategic challenges and has failed to achieve any of its objectives in its confrontation with Iran.
He further suggested that Israeli statements and propaganda efforts are unlikely to produce results, describing Israel as increasingly isolated and engaged in desperate attempts to survive, while Iran continues to closely monitor developments.
On June 13, 2025, Israel launched a blatant and unprovoked aggression against Iran during ongoing nuclear negotiations between Washington and Tehran. The attack triggered a 12-day war that killed at least 1,064 people, including military commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians.
The United States also entered the conflict, bombing three Iranian nuclear sites in a serious violation of international law.
In retaliation, the Iranian Armed Forces targeted strategic sites across the occupied territories as well as the Al-Udeid air base in Qatar, the largest American military installation in West Asia.
By June 24, Iran, through its successful retaliatory operations against both Israel and the US, had managed to halt the aggression.
