SAEDNEWS: It may be surprising to some, but the continuation of negotiations with the United States must be emphasized.
According to SAEDNEWS, the Jomhouri-e Eslami newspaper wrote: We must not allow this sinister trick of the Zionists to succeed.
After the first surprise attack by the Zionist regime on Tehran on the morning of Friday, June 13 (23 Khordad), subsequent attacks by this regime failed, and Iran’s air defense forces were able to intercept most of the enemy’s missiles and drones, preventing the Zionist criminals from reaching their targets. Furthermore, missile and drone attacks by our armed forces on the occupied territories—especially the cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa—achieved remarkable successes and inflicted heavy damage on the criminal enemy.
Iran now holds the upper hand in the war and can strongly insist on its demands in negotiations with the United States.
The main goal of the Zionist regime in starting this war was, on one hand, to disrupt the negotiations and force Iran to surrender to the illegal demand for zero enrichment; and on the other hand, to drag the U.S. into a war with Iran—a goal they had failed to achieve through political efforts. By imposing a Zionist war on Iran, they aimed to compel the U.S. to directly participate in the conflict, turning it into a “Zionist-Crusader” war. Fortunately, the Zionists failed to achieve either of these evil objectives, and now, contrary to the bravado of Benjamin Netanyahu and some extremist ministers of his illegitimate cabinet, heavy pressure from the Iranian armed forces’ attacks is being exerted on the Zionist regime, which is struggling under this intense pressure and turning to Trump for help.
The significance of the power demonstration by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Islamic Republic Army in this war is that even after the martyrdom of top commanders—which could have caused irreparable disruption in the armed forces—Iran’s forces launched a powerful assault on the heart of the occupied territories just hours after these martyrdoms, bringing the enemy to desperation. One of the assets the Zionist leaders thought they had and could use to achieve their evil goals was the F-35 fighter jets, touted as “ultra-advanced” and “stealth.” Our fighters managed to shoot down several of these jets and displayed their wreckage and supposedly “stealth” drones in front of cameras.
In addition to all these defeats inflicted on the Zionist enemy and its supporters, the Zionists also suffered a severe defeat in the major psychological war they had prepared against Iran. In recent months, they had heavily focused on the narrative that Iran had become very weak, was facing many internal oppositions, and would collapse after a military invasion.
The war that the Zionists started against Iran on Friday, June 13 (23 Khordad), proved exactly the opposite of what they claimed. Iran, faced with this cowardly aggression by the Zionist enemy, became more united than ever before. All political parties, activists of various orientations and tendencies, political, social, and religious figures—even those with opposing views—condemned the brutal aggression of the Zionist regime and declared magnificent solidarity to confront the enemy.
This is a rare opportunity created by the enemy’s foolishness, and precisely for this reason, we believe Iran’s position in negotiations is now much stronger than before, so that it can powerfully defend all its legitimate rights regarding the nuclear issue and other matters.
