The deputy commander of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) says through faith, experience, and indigenous technology Iran managed to defeat global powers in the 12-day war despite their new weapons.
Brigadier General Ali Fadavi made the remarks on Thursday, stressing that global powers deployed unprecedented new military technologies against the Islamic Republic during the war but Iran emerged victorious.
“In this war, all the material and scientific capabilities of the world were employed; many of the technologies and equipment used had never before been tested in any war. Nevertheless, our capabilities were high - the IRGC and the Basij volunteer forces entered the field - and God brought about the best result,” he emphasized.
On June 13, Israel launched a blatant and unprovoked aggression against Iran, triggering a 12-day war that killed at least 1,064 people in the country, including military commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians.
The United States also entered the war by bombing three Iranian nuclear sites in a grave violation of international law.
In response, the Iranian Armed Forces targeted strategic sites across the occupied territories as well as the al-Udeid air base in Qatar, the largest American military base in West Asia.
