SAEDNEWS: Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi thanked Pakistan for standing by Iran during the U.S.-Israeli war of aggression.
According to Saednews, Chairman of the Chief of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi has thanked Pakistan for standing alongside the Islamic Republic during the unprovoked war of aggression by the Israeli regime and the United States.
In a phone conversation on Sunday with Pakistan’s Chief of the Army Staff General Asim Munir, Major General Mousavi discussed ongoing defense diplomacy in the wake of the 12-day war.
“In the 12-day imposed war,” he stated, “the United States spared no effort in aiding the Zionist regime—not only participating in the aggression but also deploying all its capabilities to defend it against Iran’s missile and drone attacks,” he said.
“Alongside the U.S., several other Western countries also offered both verbal and practical support to the enemy,” he added.
The top general emphasized, “Although we suffered losses, including the martyrdom of great and worthy commanders at the outset of this war, we thwarted the enemy’s objectives to such an extent that they were ultimately forced to request a ceasefire.”
Israel launched the aggression on June 13, three days before scheduled talks between Iran and the United States regarding Tehran’s peaceful nuclear program.
The United States joined the war on June 22, launching airstrikes on three of Iran’s nuclear sites in Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz.
The Iranian Armed Forces launched powerful retaliatory strikes, targeting key positions across Israeli-occupied territories and inflicting significant damage.
A ceasefire was announced on June 24.
