TEHRAN (Iran News) Chairman of the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi says the Islamic Republic responded decisively and resolutely to the U.S.-Israeli war of aggression.

General Mousavi made the remarks in a phone call with Qatar’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of State for Defense Affairs Khalid bin Mohammad Al Attiyah on Tuesday.

He emphasized that the Iranian Armed Forces resisted bullying and aggression with all their might, saying the 12-day imposed war proved the legitimacy of the Islamic Republic.

All Muslim governments and freedom-loving people firmly supported Iran’s positions, which he said proved “the non-adherence to any international principles or norms by the the United States and the Zionist regime.”

The top commander continued by pointing out that Washington did not spare any assistance to Israel and provided full intelligence and logistical support to the regime against Iranian retaliatory missile and drone attacks.

He also thanked the government of Qatar for condemning the aggressors, and being one among the countries that have firmly supported the struggles of the oppressed people of Palestine.

The Qatari minister, for his part, expressed his condolences for the martyrdom of Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri.

The State of Qatar condemned Israel’s aggression against Iran from the very beginning and announced that Doha would not allow its airspace and territory to be used against Iran, Khalid Al Attiyah said.

TEHRAN (Iran News) Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri has stressed the combat and operational readiness of Iranian Armed Forces to confront hostile acts.

“We are in our best form in terms of combat capability and readiness. Thank God our Armed Forces are in the best situation as to intelligence collection, operational planning, and readiness to implement scenarios,” Major General Baqeri said.

The top commander further said that all operational plans and conditions were inspected in the course of his visit, and assurances were made that the Armed Forces are in their optimal situation in terms of training and maneuvers, readiness to work, and mental and operational readiness.

“Our advice to the enemies who sometimes pose threats against the establishment is: You may initiate a conflict with the Islamic Republic based on a miscalculation, but the ending, manner, timing, location and developments on the battleground will not be within your control. It will be the Islamic Republic of Iran that will determine them,” Major General Baqeri pointed out.

“In case the enemies make a mistake, or intend to take action against the [Islamic] establishment and the sacred waters and soil of the Islamic Republic of Iran, our Armed Forces have the ability and readiness to confront them,” Major General Baqeri added.

The IRGC forces are part of the nation who are present in every part of the society and are supported by people, the president underlined.

He also denounced the US and the Zionist regime for attempting to disrupt peace in the region, saying the US military presence in any part of the region has only resulted in destruction, homicide and displacement of people.

President Rouhani also decried the US decision to use terrorist groups as proxy forces in the region which benefited from American arms and air support.

He said the only powers that neutralized the US “ominous role” in the region were the Iranian Armed Force, the regional nations, and particularly the IRGC.

The US is angry at the Iranian nation for forty years of resistance and at the Iranian armed forces for standing against the hostile plots, he noted.

The president also stressed that the US is exasperated with the IRGC and all popular forces in the region, including the Lebanese Hezbollah, Iraq’s Hashd al-Shaabi, the Yemeni popular forces, and any other power that disobeys its policies.

The regional nations have been able to stand against the US, its regional mercenaries, and the Israeli regime with the help of the Iranian armed forces and the IRGC, the president added, saying all of the proxy terrorists in the Middle East have been forced out of the territories they had once occupied.

“The US’ path is wrong and the US leaders are mired in their delusions,” President Rouhani added.

There is no doubt that the Iranian Armed Forces are more powerful than ever, he added, noting that the country’s territorial seas and the neighboring waters are safer than ever thanks to the Iranian military forces.

Iran is after independence and stability of the regional nations and tries to end terrorism in the region, he underlined.

The president said the Iranian Armed Forces are honored to have fought against terrorism, highlighting the “big strides” taken by the IRGC in this regard.

The terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, and Syria have been defeated thanks to the efforts of the Iranian Army and the IRGC who provided help at the request of the regional governments, he added.

The president further emphasized that the Iranian Armed Forces are never against the regional nations, the Muslim countries and the neighboring states or their interests.

The Iranian Armed Forces stand against the aggressors, he stressed, saying Iran’s military power is equivalent to the power of the regionals countries and the Islamic world.

Zionism and the US arrogance are the root causes of problems in the region, President Rouhani added, saying the regional nations have a long history of peaceful coexistence and good neighborliness.

The Iranian president finally called for collective action against terrorism and for restoration of the historical rights of the regional nations with fraternity.
