“With the miraculous steadfastness of the Iranian people, Israel realized it had made a strategic mistake,” said Maj. Gen. Amir Hatami, Iran’s Army Chief on Sunday.
Iran’s top army commander added that the Islamic Republic’s missile and drone capabilities remain “operational and intact,” warning that Tehran does not consider enemy threats to be over following recent hostilities with Israel.
Hatami, addressing senior commanders of the Army’s Ground Forces, accused Israel of pursuing various plots against Iran “under the illusion that it could harm the Islamic system.” He said Tel Aviv’s “miscalculation” was exposed during the 12-day war, which saw Israeli strikes and Iranian retaliation in June.
