"The Zionist regime was stunned in the 12-day imposed war, and if the missile operations of the Iranian Armed Forces had continued, nothing would have remained of this regime today,” IRGC spokesman Brigadier General Ali Mohammad Naeini said on Sunday, Press TV reports.
He added dismissed the rhetoric used by the Israeli minister of military affairs against Iran as nothing but psychological warfare, but stressed that the Iranian Armed Forces miss no chance to further enhance their capabilities.
The IRGC spokesman warned that the enemy is currently trying to disturb the public peace in Iran through nonsensical threats of attacking the country again, although it has already tested the Islamic Republic’s hard and soft power.
Naeini said Iran’s soft power, based on the wise guidelines of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the people’s religious beliefs and national unity thwarted the enemy's plots.
On June 13, Israel launched an unprovoked war against Iran, assassinating many high-ranking military commanders, nuclear scientists, and ordinary civilians.
More than a week later, the United States also entered the war by bombing three Iranian nuclear sites in a grave violation of the United Nations Charter, international law, and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
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.
On June 24, Iran, through its successful retaliatory operations against both the Israeli regime and the US, managed to impose a halt to the illegal assault.
