Pezeshkian credits epoch-making Iranians for historic victory
Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said all the credit and pride ascribed to the recent historic victory over Israel belong to the great nation of Iran that prides itself on its civilizational legacy.
He made the remarks in a message addressed to the people late Tuesday, commending the “epoch-making” nation for its “courageous steadfastness” that paved the way for victory.
Pezeshkian maintained the Israeli regime was forced to unilaterally halt its aggression against the Islamic Republic after receiving a “severe and historic” punishment at the hands of the Iranian nation and its armed forces.
The Israeli regime ended its 12-day-long war of aggression on Iran in the early hours of Tuesday after suffering heavy blows at the hands of Iranian armed forces.
In the 22 phases of Operation True Promise III, Iranian armed forces launched hundreds of ballistic missiles, including multi-warhead projectiles, and drones at strategic Israeli military sites in the occupied territories, including the bases used by the regime to launch its attacks.
Pezeshkian said the enemy’s losses as a result of the reprisal were “unimaginable,” despite the intense media censorship that the regime had imposed.
According to Pezeshkian, the aggressors failed in their goals of destroying Iran’s infrastructure, obliterating its peaceful nuclear energy, and inciting social unrest.
During a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Pezeshkian again emphasized the importance of recognizing the Iranian people’s contributions and urged authorities to take actions that foster public trust in their services. The president reflected on recent events, stating that the actions of the Zionist regime have heightened awareness among Iranian officials that it is the entire population of Iran, not just a political party, minority, or specific group, that can defend the country.
