Iran declares 'historic victory' over Israel

Iran's government is celebrating what it calls a "historic victory" over Israel, saying it has withstood Israeli airstrikes and held its ground. Politicians, military officials and religious leaders have been hailing what they call a "second great victory" after the Iraq-Iran war, but this time against Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu. Iranian ministers, members of parliament, religious leaders and members of the Council of Experts have congratulated the people of the country on the success, emphasizing Iran's resilience in the face of external pressure.

According to senior Iranian Foreign Ministry official Ismail Baghay, Tehran sees these events as a confirmation of its right to self-defense and intends to respond to Israel's actions. At a briefing, Baghay stressed that Iran will resolutely defend its interests and will respond to Israeli actions "at the right moment." He said that Tehran will not leave Israeli air strikes unanswered, but will do so when officials deem the time appropriate.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Sardar Salami, also expressed confidence that Iran is ready to counter any aggressive steps by Israel. He noted that Israel has not achieved its goals, which Tehran considers a symbol of its victory. These statements are accompanied by celebratory rhetoric at the official level and mass congratulations, emphasizing Iran's resilience in the face of threats.

Meanwhile, former adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli political scientist Alon Keisar, shared his opinion on what is happening in an interview with haqqin.az. He believes that the joy of the Iranian authorities is rather an attempt to hide the consequences of the Israeli airstrikes, which, in his opinion, caused significant damage to Iran's defense system. According to him, Tehran's statements are predictable attempts to maintain the image of a strong and invincible state.

Keisar notes that Iran is in fact facing serious challenges after the latest attacks by the Israeli Air Force, which demonstrated the vulnerability of Iranian defenses. He believes that Israel will continue its strategy aimed at neutralizing threats from Iran and does not rule out new strikes on key Iranian military infrastructure.

Amid claims of further attacks, both sides are bracing for an escalation of the standoff. Iran, despite its claims, is under pressure from Israel and the international community. As Israeli forces continue to target Iranian targets, officials in Tehran are trying to minimize the perception of their impact, maintaining public confidence.
