🔴 “What Did They Achieve?” | Basij Chief About U.S.-Israeli War on Iran
Commander of Iran’s Basij Force Hossein Taeb states that Western attempts to replicate the Afghanistan and Iraq war doctrines against Iran have reached a strategic impasse:
@iranpress_com
Commander of Iran’s Basij Force Hossein Taeb states that Western attempts to replicate the Afghanistan and Iraq war doctrines against Iran have reached a strategic impasse:
“They said that in the war on Iran, we will apply the lessons learned from Afghanistan and Iraq. Through air and naval battles, we will force the Islamic Republic into surrender. They brought forth all their capabilities, deploying over 500 aircraft to the region, conducting wartime sorties, dropping over a thousand tons of bombs and launching missiles daily. What did they achieve?” Today, they are forced to approach military action with extreme caution. Why? Because a military confrontation has jeopardized the strategic depth and rear lines of both the Americans and the Israelis.
