Mohsen Rezai, former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), now a member of the Convenience Council, said in a televised interview on Thursday that the Israeli regime had envisioned a military decision in Iran by removing many Iranian military commanders.
“But it never passed, and under the leadership, all activities went by force,” Rezaei said.
“The Israelis thought they had targeted (and knocked out) Iranian allies in Lebanon and Syria, and in some way had an aerial advantage. They were confident in their cyber capabilities and Iran’s penetration. Dome, “I saw what the Iranian army brought to it,” he said.
The victory was achieved in the punitive strike that began in Israel, the greatest of which was that Iran successfully blocked Israel’s calculations and became the first country to prevent the Tel Aviv regime from reaching its objectives, he said. “Until today the government has not pulled it off. Israel’s calculations have been found to be correct in countries that attacked, not in Iran, such as Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and the countries that attacked it.”
He said Israeli leaders asked President Donald Trump to go to help them or somehow announce a ceasefire. “They’re in a crisis. We have the advantage,” he said. However, he added that Israel’s punishment has not yet been fully carried out.
Rezaei said the later strikes must be strong enough to provide deterrence and ensure Iran’s future security.
