SAEDNEWS: A campaign emerged in Iraq where people, with a hand gesture, pointed to the launching of Iran’s missiles. This was considered a symbol, an exchange of emotions, affection, and solidarity with the Revolution and the armed forces, and this itself was a very interesting matter.
According to the political service of Saeed News, quoting Khabar Online, the representative of the Supreme Leader in Iraq said: If during the 12-day war, the enemy had been responded to immediately, they would have said it was just an engagement; but God decreed that the readiness to respond would take several hours, about 18 hours, and then the response was delivered. This made the whole world understand that they were the aggressors and Iran was the defender.
Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini, the representative of the Supreme Leader in Iraq, said: The U.S. claims against Iraq regarding disarmament or the dissolution of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) are unattainable wishes. The Iraqi people will by no means accept such a thing.
Read the key remarks of the Leader’s representative in Iraq below as quoted by Fars;
{Referring to the 12-day war}: One of the positive points of this war was that when the enemy attacked us, it became clear to everyone that they were the criminals. Because in Iran, the response was not delivered immediately. If it had been delivered at once, they would have said it was an engagement; but God decreed that the readiness to respond would take several hours, about 18 hours, and then the response was delivered. This made the whole world realize that they were the aggressors and Iran was the defender. This was a very big achievement.
They never imagined that one day a country would dare to officially bombard Israel or strike America. This was something new, and they did not expect it, but thanks to God, the Islamic Republic responded with full power and courage. Our army and IRGC acted very strongly and powerfully. The enemy’s precise facilities were destroyed, and the missiles hit sensitive targets.
In terms of prestige as well, those Zionists who considered themselves an invincible army were humiliated to the point that they had to resort to their master, America. When America entered, it also received a harsh response and its prestige was broken.
The missiles of the Islamic Republic not only destroyed buildings and sensitive military and communication centers but also destroyed the enemy’s prestige.
In Iraq, people truly took to the streets in support of the Islamic Republic, and the youth declared that they were ready to be present on the battlefield. Even they came to me, and I told them that today’s wars are not wars of individuals but wars of equipment, but the fact that your hearts are with us is valuable.
They did not consider this war as a war with Iran, but as a war with Islamic resistance, a war with Shia, and a war with Islam. This created a sense of pride and vitality among the general people of Iraq.
A campaign also emerged in Iraq where people, with a hand gesture, pointed to the launching of Iran’s missiles. This was considered a symbol, an exchange of emotions, affection, and solidarity with the Revolution and the armed forces, and this itself was a very interesting matter.
This matter was not limited to Iraq. In Pakistan, India, and even Western countries, many free people were happy about this incident.
Although the Islamic Republic lost great commanders and scientists, it gained something that would not have been possible naturally; and that was the prestige and greatness of the Islamic Republic across the world and in the hearts of nations, and the humiliation of the enemy.
{Regarding the acceptance of the ceasefire}: Some say why didn’t Iran continue and why did it accept the ceasefire. It must be said that Iran is not fundamentally committed to war. Iran acts according to law; self-defense and defense of the oppressed anywhere in the world. The Islamic Republic provides weapons, training, and assistance to the oppressed, and this is an international legal right.
America and Western countries help the oppressor, but Iran helps the oppressed. Thanks to God, Iran has been able to be introduced worldwide as the symbol, model, and axis of resistance in the world, and this is an honor for Iranians. Our people also truly showed that they stand with the system, alongside the Supreme Leader, and are proud of their Leader. But continuing that war would have been an action that, if done, would have been against calculations. Because they struck and received a blow greater than what they dealt. And if it had continued, a large number of people could have been lost, even if the Zionists would have suffered greater essential damages.
For this reason, the ceasefire was accepted so that the world would know Iran is not after war. Of course, anyone who wages war will receive a harsh response.
If you put America on the scale now, you will see that it has truly become lighter. Inside Israel, unrest and protests exist. Jews are demonstrating against the Zionists. All of these are signs of the fulfillment of the divine promise.
The U.S. claims against Iraq regarding disarmament or the dissolution of the Popular Mobilization Forces are unattainable wishes. The Iraqi people will by no means accept such a thing. Everyone knows that America wants to repeat in Iraq the same disaster it brought upon Syria, but such a ground does not exist.
The members of the PMF are resistant, loyal, and well-trained forces with sufficient military equipment. All of them are present on the front of the Islamic Republic and Islamic resistance.
