Mirahmadi: The Failure of Israel's Air Defense Disrupted Tel Aviv's Plans

According to Saednews, Sardar Seyed Majid Mirahmadi, advisor to the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, in an interview, referred to the Zionist regime’s aggression against Iran and the forceful response of the Iranian armed forces, saying:

"Our people must understand that today's war is not limited to military confrontation—it is also a battlefield of psychological, intellectual, and cognitive warfare. What matters in this arena is discerning the front of truth from falsehood and correctly understanding each side’s objectives."

He added:

"Today, the enemy has openly declared its goal: the destruction of Iran’s nuclear capabilities and the implementation of a project called the 'New Middle East'—a Middle East in which there is no trace of the Islamic Republic. This admission reveals that the new imposed war is not merely about weapons but about destroying the very existence of Islamic Iran."

Referring to statements made by American and Zionist officials, Sardar Mirahmadi emphasized:

"When Netanyahu explicitly says Iran must be destroyed, and U.S. officials repeat this claim, it becomes clear what level of threat our nation is facing—and what a major victory has been achieved. Initially, they assumed the Islamic Republic would retreat under pressure like some regional governments. But they were confronted with a different reality."

The advisor to the Chief of Staff pointed to Israel’s strategic defeats:

"They first entered the war alone, but after failing, they openly asked the U.S. to intervene and rescue them. This bitter admission marked a definite defeat for the Zionist regime. A regime that claimed to be a regional power is now seeking refuge in its main supporter and admits it cannot stand on its own."

He continued:

"The Islamic Republic of Iran’s response to the Zionist aggression was a brave decision. Without the slightest hesitation, Iran stepped into the field and proved that—contrary to the enemy's analysis—it does not retreat, but rather engages in direct confrontation with strength."

Iran’s missiles bypassed U.S. defense systems
Sardar Mirahmadi, referring to Iran’s missile response to U.S. military bases in the region, noted:

"The Americans never imagined that Iran, at the peak of sanctions, pressure, and in the post-JCPOA climate, would demonstrate such determination. Our missiles bypassed multiple layers of defense systems and proved that Iran’s deterrence capability is not just propaganda, but real and effective—forcing Israel to accept a ceasefire."

The advisor added:

"This victory is the result of the Iranian people's courage, the strength of the armed forces, and the wise leadership of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. Through strategic decision-making and insight, he guided the situation in a way that brought our enemies to their knees before the power and greatness of Iran."

The enemy’s goal of creating a “New Middle East” and dividing Iran has failed
Sardar Mirahmadi stressed:

"The enemy’s objective was to execute the New Middle East project and divide Iran into small, insignificant states. These plans were designed to erase the Islamic Republic’s role—but they completely failed."

He also pointed to the psychological warfare waged by foreign media and social networks:

"Some dear citizens might be influenced by the enemy’s disinformation campaigns on social media. But we must remain vigilant and realize that these psychological operations are designed to undermine the morale of the Iranian nation."

In conclusion, Sardar Mirahmadi congratulated the Iranian people on this victory:

"It has become clear today that the path to dignity lies only through resistance and steadfastness. With faith, domestic capability, and reliance on the leadership of the Islamic Revolution, the Iranian nation has created an extraordinary epic. This victory will be recorded in history and serve as an inspiring model for other nations."
