More than three weeks have passed since the beginning of the aggression of the Zionist regime and the United States against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
An aggression that, like the previous one, occurred nine months ago when the Islamic Republic of Iran was trying to reach a balanced agreement for a lasting peace in the West Asian region, in order to secure its legal rights and save the region and the world from being involved in a costly war.
This benevolent effort, however, failed with the attack on a girls’ school and the martyrdom of 169 innocent children, simultaneously with the attack on the home and office of the highest political and religious official of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the martyr Ayatollah Khamenei and marked the beginning of a series of developments and events whose end is not very clear.
But what has happened so far can be examined and re-examined from several angles:
First: With this action, America and the Zionist regime have violated all international rules and laws and sent the message to the world that they do not adhere to any international treaties. This message will be a very dangerous message for world peace and stability.
Second: Despite the misconceptions and mistakes of those who initiated the war, Islamic Republic of Iran not only stood firm against the aggressors, but has also taught the aggressors unforgettable lessons.
Third: With the start of this war, the global economy has been affected and energy prices are increasing uncontrollably. There is no doubt that the increase in oil prices in the world will soon show its effects on the global economy and will cause irreparable damage. This is while Iran has not yet taken any military action to close the Strait of Hormuz, and the price of oil has nearly doubled due to the decrease in traffic through this waterway.
Fourth: According to the assessment of American experts, tens of billions of dollars of American financial resources have been spent in the past two weeks to start and continue this war, while the United States and the Zionist regime have not achieved any of their goals.
Fifth: The growing trend of opposition to the war in America has even reached those close to the US President, and yesterday we witnessed the resignation of the head of the US Counter-Terrorism Commission, who is considered a close confidant of Trump. This opposition is growing increasingly among the American people.
Sixth: The return of the Resistance Front to the operational arenas is considered one of the other achievements of this war. The return of Hezbollah in Lebanon to the battle against the Zionist regime and the return of Iraqi resistance groups to military operations against America are considered a part of the revival of the Resistance Front.
Seventh: Another unexpected achievement of this war is the demonstration of Iran’s power throughout the West Asian region and the Persian Gulf, which if its initiators had a correct picture of, it is unlikely that they would have taken such an unwise action.
Eighth: The fact that America is alone in building a coalition and involving other countries in this war is another clear message. The US President, by inviting heads of state to join the US in opening the Strait of Hormuz, tried to bring a coalition of countries with him, but they met with a negative response, and this incident is considered the beginning of the end of American authoritarianism in the world.
Ninth: Political, social, and economic stability, along with the exemplary resistance, bravery, and steadfastness of the Iranian Muslim people, along with the donation of pure blood to water the seedlings of Islam, were other unique events of the imposed Ramadan War, which undoubtedly added another golden chaptor to the long history of Islamic Republic of Iran.
Tenth: Iran, while sending a message of friendship to neighboring countries before and during the war, repeatedly asked them not to allow foreigners to use their land against the territory and territorial integrity of Iran. This warning was unfortunately not taken seriously by some of Iran’s southern neighboring governments, forcing Iran’s defense forces to target the aggressors’ bases inside the territory of neighboring countries in order to protect the peace and security of the region and Iran. This was never and is not the desire and desire of Islamic Republic of Iran. It is hoped that neighboring countries will observe good neighborliness more than ever and not play on the playground of the common enemy of the Islamic world, namely the Zionist regime.
