Iranian General Says US and Israel Have No Answers for Failures

Brigadier General Hassan Hassanzadeh, a senior commander in Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), stated on Saturday that senior officials of the United States and the Israeli regime have no answer to offer public opinion, intellectuals, or their own people for their repeated failures. He made the remarks during a visit to a local division in the capital, as reported by Press TV.

Hassanzadeh asserted that the United States and the Israeli regime have completely failed to achieve their objectives against Iran's Islamic establishment. He referenced the duo's failures in their latest bouts of joint unprovoked aggression against the Islamic Republic, specifically the conflict that took place last June and the subsequent round that targeted the country from February 28 until April 7.

The commander highlighted that the failures included the allies' inability to overthrow the Islamic establishment, weaken Iran's Armed Forces, or force the country to abandon its peaceful nuclear energy program. Both imposed wars were met with back-to-back waves of Iranian retaliation against sensitive and strategic American and Israeli assets across the region.

During the 12-day war in June, Washington asked Tehran for a ceasefire at the Israeli regime's request. In the 40-day war, US President Donald Trump announced a unilateral ceasefire after at least 100 waves of reprisal staged by the Iranian Armed Forces. The forces have continued to respond uncompromisingly to US violations that followed the ceasefire and the later conclusion of a Pakistan-mediated memorandum of understanding.

Hassanzadeh also credited the nationwide support provided by the Iranian public for the Islamic establishment, including the backing of the nation's Basij volunteer force, for the triumphs achieved in the face of the adversaries. According to Mehr News Agency (MNA), the general's remarks underscore the ongoing tensions and the resilience of Iran's defense posture.
