Referring to the US and Israeli war of aggression waged against Iran on February 28, Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi emphasized that the US and the Israeli regime entered the war to weaken the Islamic Republic, undermine national unity, and reshape the regional balance of power, but ultimately failed to achieve their objectives.
He reiterated that forging national unity and amity, throwing weight behind leadership, strengthening the domestic capabilities and potentials are of the most essential needs to overcome the wartime challenges and difficulties.
Rahim Safavi said the recent US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran was intended to weaken the Islamic Republic, undermine domestic cohesion, and alter the regional balance of power, but failed to accomplish those objectives.
Although Iran suffered losses and a number of military commanders, scientists and civilians were martyred, he said, the enemy failed to weaken the resolve of the Iranian people, the country's defensive capabilities, or the structure of the Islamic Republic.
Referring to the broader impact of the conflict, he said the blood of the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution and the other martyrs would strengthen the spirit of resistance among free nations beyond Iran's borders.
The general stressed that threats from the enemy persist, adding that the country remains in wartime conditions and all institutions must correctly assess the situation and maintain the necessary level of preparedness.
Rahim Safavi also underscored the importance of supporting the leadership, preserving national unity, and preventing social divisions, warning that the enemy seeks to create rifts between the people and the country's officials.
