Tehran – A leading political analyst says Iranian people “doesn’t tolerate invasion.”
Mohammad Javad Azari Jafro said the people’s response to the Israeli war against Iran appears to be their response to Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Iran in 1980.
Many countries, particularly the great powers, supported Saddam Hussein in the war with Iran. Like Israel, Saddam’s war against Iran captured Iran by the off guard. Iranians, especially volunteer forces, joined the army, driving Saddam’s troops, which acquired large lands in the three Iranian border provinces of Xusestan, Ilam and Kermansha, and gained several cities and villages.
“Now this has been repeated,” Azari Jafro told IRNA on Wednesday.
Israel launched a surprise attack on Iran on June 13th. The United States joined Israel early on June 23 (Iranian era) and attacked three Iranian nuclear sites: Ford, Natanz and Isfahan. However, as Iran responded by launching ballistic missiles and drones in Israel, they were forced to turn off the fire, allowing Israel to experience the bitter taste of war for the first time in nearly 80 years’ history.
Azali Yafro emphasized that despite all restrictions, Iranian forces stood “fixed” against Israeli invasion, indicating the greatness and identity of an Iranian nation “unified and united” in the face of external threats, and that it does not accept any form of attack.
The former communications minister of Luhani’s administration also said that the situation serves as a world lesson and that “we should send greetings to the noble people of Iran and appreciate their greatness and generosity.”
He also said Israel’s war with Iran led to social unrest within the country and was misled when they fulfilled their malice.
“The enemy was suffering from miscalculation. I imagined it could cause social unrest and public dissatisfaction (domestic). Some destructive movements have made false analysis and managed to sell dreams and fantasies.
