Remarks by Iranian President, Speaker of the Parliament and Spiritual Leader
In remarks to the weekly cabinet meeting of the government of Iran on October 2, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said the Islamic Republic's retaliatory operation against Israel, dubbed Operation True Promise II, proved that the occupying regime's Iron Dome missile interception system is "more fragile than glass."
He stressed that Iran would give a more "crushing response" to any new Israeli mistake. "Iran does not seek war, yet it is not afraid of it either," he noted, emphasizing that the Islamic Republic knows no limits when it comes to protecting the security, authority and dignity of its people and the country.
"The latest retaliatory attack proved that Iran will never be joking about the honour and pride of its nation," he said.
The president said, "After the assassination of Martyr Haniyeh in Tehran, which was a clear violation of Iran's sovereignty and national security, the Western countries kept asking Tehran to exercise restraint, promising to immediately establish a ceasefire in Gaza."
Pezeshkian noted that, "The criminal and bloodthirsty Israeli regime not only continued to kill women and children, but also expanded the scope of its crimes to Lebanon, and the Western countries remained silent."
Pezeshkian also blasted the double standards and inaction of international organizations and the Western countries towards the criminal acts of the Israeli regime. He went on to say that Benjamin Netanyhau, the "criminal" prime minister of the Israeli regime, publicly threatened Iran at the United Nations General Assembly meeting, while other countries remained silent in the face of such behaviour.
Pezeshkian further expressed hope that peace and tranquility will be restored to the region and regional countries will get rid of criminals and oppressors.
The speaker of the Iranian parliament, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, said on October 2 that Operation True Promise II shattered the Zionist regime's security myth and the Zionist entity is now a loser both in the battlefield and in the media war.
"The regime had already failed to evaluate the military prowess of Hezbollah, when it suffered another intelligence and security defeat as a result of the successful armed operation in Tel Aviv. It had not yet recovered from the setback, when its media allegations about purported victories were dismissed in the wake of the launch of Iranian missiles.
"[...] Last night, tyrants and warmongers, whose only strength is air strikes and terrorist operations, trembled with fear while Muslim nations and freedom-seekers of the world were filled with joy and hope.
"The enemy, which has tried to cover up its strategic failures with tactical victories and destroy the mental and structural foundations of the resistance front through psychological warfare, thought it had pulled the plug on Hezbollah with the assassination of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. It did not look forward to a Hezbollah much stronger than the past," Qalibaf pointed out.
The Iranian parliament speaker further noted that the Zionist regime, which sees its existence and survival in jeopardy, may think of repeating its previous mistakes and launching an act of military aggression against Iran.
"It should know that we have prepared ourselves for any possible insanity, and devised an elaborate plan. Our next response to any possible aggression will be at a very different level," he said, warning against an attack on Iran.
Qalibaf finally advised the United States, as the main sponsor of the Israeli regime, to further muzzle its rabid dog so that it neither harms itself nor causes serious trouble to its patron.
On October 2, the leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, met a group of leading cadre, top scientists and military personnel in Tehran at the University Entrance Exams.
"In our region, the root cause of problems, which leads to conflicts, wars, concerns and hostilities and such like, results from the presence of the same people who claim to advocate peace and tranquility in the region; that is America and some European countries," Ayatollah Khamenei said.
"If they get themselves out of this region, beyond a shadow of doubt, these conflicts, these wars, these clashes will come to a complete halt, and the countries of the region will be able to govern themselves, govern their region, and live together in peace, blessing and prosperity."
Ayatollah Khamenei stressed that he would in the near future address the issues regarding the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.
