Army chief vows ‘overwhelming fury’ against enemy miscalculation
Major General Amir Hatami made the remarks during a ceremony in Tehran on Tuesday, a day after Iran and the United States announced they had finalized a tentative agreement to end the war that began in late February, Press TV reported. “The enemy stated in its strategic objectives that it wanted to force Iran to surrender, destroy the Islamic Republic, and shamelessly spoke of changing Iran’s map,” Hatami said. “Today, none of these objectives have been achieved.”
The United States and Israel launched a war of aggression against Iran on February 28. They assassinated Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and struck nuclear facilities, schools and hospitals.
Iran responded with at least 100 waves of decisive retaliatory strikes under Operation True Promise 4.
General Hatami pointed to past aggressions, saying that during the 12-day war in June 2025 and the recent US-Israeli aggression, the enemy pleaded for a ceasefire.
“The Iranian nation has not only refused to surrender, but you saw in the case of Lebanon that Iran’s will was imposed on the enemy,” he stated.
He also dismissed enemy claims of military victory as false, highlighting the Iranian Navy’s powerful defense along 600 kilometers of the Sea of Oman, He noted that enemy naval vessels that entered Iranian waters were targeted by Army and the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps.
