SAEDNEWS: Defense Minister Nasirzadeh said Iran’s next response to enemy aggression will be lethal, surprising, and beyond calculations, stressing that Tehran knows the adversary’s weak points.
According to Seednews, a group of foreign military attachés residing in Tehran met on Tuesday with Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh, Minister of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics, on the occasion of “August 22 – National Defense Industry Day.”
In this meeting, Brigadier General Nasirzadeh commemorated the memory of the martyrs of the 12-day Israeli imposed war on Iran, especially commanders, scientists, women, men, and children, and said, that August 22, in the official calendar of the Islamic Republic of Iran, has been designated as National Defense Industry Day; an indigenous industry that today, relying on self-sufficiency, perseverance, and Islamic-Iranian teachings, and under the wise guidance of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, has become one of the main pillars of national security and power.
The Minister of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics explained the roots, aspects, and hidden and apparent objectives of the imposed 12-day war, saying that at the outset, from the very beginning of the war, the Zionist regime enjoyed wide political, intelligence, operational, and military support from the United States, and ultimately, the US directly participated in this offensive operation. "We are fully aware that, in addition to the US, some Western and regional countries were actively involved in the Zionist regime’s interception and defense operations, while we, due to the unlawful US sanctions, were relying solely on our domestic capabilities."
"In fact, at the very time when we were negotiating with the American side and it had been agreed that the sixth round of these talks would continue in Muscat, the Zionist regime, with US support, launched its aerial and missile strikes at dawn on June 13, in a combination of military and terrorist operations. A number of our senior military commanders and scientists, who were at rest with their families, were targeted and martyred. The first wave of the regime’s attack was carried out remotely by exploiting Syria’s and Iraq’s control gaps," he said, adding that the Zionist regime’s agents inside Iran were also used in this terrorist operation.
