Conditions Have Changed in Favor of Iran: IRGC Spokesman

Addressing an event in commemoration of “martyrs of the resistance media”, held in Tehran on Tuesday, General Ali Mohammad Naeini said the recent war of aggression imposed by the Zionist regime and the US against Iran resulted in the formation of unparalleled synergy among the military, diplomatic and media sectors of the Islamic Republic.

The results of credible international surveys indicate that at least 60 percent of people in the world believe that Iran has won the war, while that figure in the region stands at 80 percent, the spokesman said, adding that the notion of a weak Iran has no place in the world anymore.

The general said the fact that 120 countries condemned the Israeli aggression against Iran proves that “the power has been shifted and the regional and international equations have changed in favor of Iran.”

“Such a development should not be underestimated. This transition of power has practically happened,” General Naeini stated.

While the Zionist regime waged an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran on June 13 and struck Iran’s military, nuclear and residential areas for 12 days, the US stepped in and conducted military attacks on three nuclear sites in Iran’s Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan on June 22.

The Iranian military forces conducted powerful counterattacks immediately after the aggression. The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Aerospace Force carried out 22 waves of retaliatory missile strikes against the Zionist regime as part of Operation True Promise III that inflicted heavy losses on cities across the occupied territories.

Also, in response to the US attacks, Iranian armed forces launched a wave of missiles at al-Udeid air base in Qatar, the largest American military base in West Asia.

A ceasefire that came into force on June 24 brought the fighting to a halt./tasnim
