Israel unable to fight Iran alone: Khamenei
Israel has been overwhelmed by Iran’s missile strikes and is forced to rely on the US, the country’s supreme religious leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said. He also warned that Tehran is ready to face any new attack. Ayatollah Khamenei has praised Iran’s confidence, military power and people’s unity in the 12-day military conflict against Israel. At a high-level meeting in Tehran, he said that the war has proven Israel’s inability to fight Iran alone. He also said that Israel was forced to turn to the US after failing to deal with Tehran’s devastating missile attacks. The Netanyahu administration eventually became desperate for Washington’s diplomatic intervention. He commented that as the days go by, Israel’s losses will become more apparent. Iran’s supreme leader said, Israel has become a deadly cancer in the Middle East. And we see those who support their misdeeds, especially the US regime, as criminals. Iran did not start the war. However, when we were attacked, we responded to the attack with a devastating response. According to the US media outlet Wall Street Journal, Iran launched missile attacks on Israel with new tactics during the war. Using drones, hypersonic weapons and stealth strikes, they were able to penetrate Israel’s multi-layered defenses. The report said that as the war escalated, Iran’s attacks became more precise. The media reported that on June 22, Iran’s most successful attack, 10 missiles hit Tel Aviv. The day after the war ended, a major reshuffle took place in the Israeli army. The head of the air defense department was dismissed, and a new commander officially took charge. It is reported that the Israeli army took this step in an attempt to maintain military discipline. Meanwhile, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has been accused of plotting a coup to overthrow Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. A former Iranian ambassador to Iran International claimed that Pezeshkian is planning to end the Islamic Revolution, end Khamenei’s rule, and start a “new era” and join the Abraham Accords.
