In recent years, despite relentless attempts by its adversaries to block the path of the Islamic Republic’s progress and growing influence, Iran has managed to consolidate its regional standing by relying on military capabilities, national cohesion, and smart diplomacy.
The determined resistance of Iran’s Armed Forces in the face of a large-scale Israeli onslaught in June — backed by the United States and its Western allies — was a clear demonstration of Tehran’s deterrent power and its ability to shape regional and international equations. National unity was one of the most decisive factors behind the failure of Israel and America during their 12-day aggression against Iran.
Since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, the cohesion and social solidarity of the Iranian people have been the key to overcoming hostile plots, particularly the steady stream of sanctions imposed over the decades. Alongside this, active diplomacy and efforts to expand regional and international economic cooperation have played a vital role in taking the sting out of sanctions and neutralizing hostile designs.
From the outset of the Revolution, the Islamic Republic has lived under sanctions imposed by Western countries, especially the United States.
