TEHRAN – Admiral Ali Shamhani, an advisor to the leader of the Islamic Revolution, spoke to Iranian television on Sunday after being targeted by Israel in a simultaneous attack that led to the massacre of dozens of Iranian civilians, military officials and nuclear scientists on June 13.
Sham Crab felt more visibly bad than people remember him. He needed an incentive spirometer multiple times throughout the interview. This is a handheld device that helps individuals breathe deeply and slowly after an injury or surgery.
However, despite his physical health declined, Shamhani seemed morally firm and strong. He spoke about the day he was targeted, what he endured in the first few hours after the attack, and what he thinks will happen between Iran and Israel.
Here are four key points from the first interview with Shamhani held after the terrorist attacks:
Details of the assassination attempt: Shamkhani reveals the tragic details of the Israeli airstrike at his home, including being trapped under a tiled rub for three hours. He claimed that Israel had lost its leg and said the attack was a failure. He said he was targeted because he “taught Israel a tough lesson.” However, he did not elaborate on what the lesson was. Military preparation and vigilance were still necessary. He emphasized the need to maintain and advance military capabilities, particularly to counter external threats from Israel and the US’s Shamhani. The US negotiations were “trap.” Shamhani said five-round negotiations held between Iran and Washington between April and June were used as US cover-up for the impending attack. Washington’s real goal was to create internal instability in Iran. Iran’s Strategic Assets: Advisors to Iranian leaders showed that solidarity among the Iranian people after recent events shows Iranians have a deep understanding of regional and geopolitical developments, adding that the unity of the people present in Iran is a strategic asset of the country.
