SAEDNEWS: In a pointed post following the announcement of a temporary ceasefire, former Iranian MP Jalal Rashidi Koochi declared that Israel’s failure to achieve its stated objectives proves Iran's strategic victory in the conflict.
According to Saed News, Jalal Rashidi Koochi, a former member of the Iranian parliament, took to the social media platform X to weigh in on the newly established temporary ceasefire between Iran and Israel, questioning the true outcome of the war.
“Victory in war belongs to the side that achieves its declared objectives—especially the one that initiated the conflict,” he wrote. Listing what he claimed were Israel's strategic aims—“the destruction of Iran’s nuclear program, the dismantling of its missile capabilities, and regime change”—Rashidi Koochi challenged readers directly: “Which of these goals have been accomplished?”
His tweet reflects growing narratives within Iran that the conflict, despite its human and material toll, ended without Israel realizing its core military and political ambitions. Analysts note that this messaging serves to bolster internal morale and reshape international perceptions of Iran's resilience.
The ceasefire, though temporary, marks a pause in one of the most volatile chapters of Middle East tensions in recent years. While Israeli officials have yet to offer a definitive post-war assessment, Iranian voices like Rashidi Koochi’s are seizing the moment to cast the outcome as a strategic failure for Tel Aviv.
