The Leader of the revolution affirms Iran’s capability to inflict heavy losses on the Israeli enemy.

On Thursday, the leader stated that the Islamic Republic of Iran possesses all the elements of strength and capability to retaliate against the Israeli enemy. He emphasized that “the West intended for the Zionist entity to be the spearhead of aggression, domination, and injustice against our nation.”

In his speech, he described Iran’s response to the enemy entity as “devastating, powerful, and effective, with massive momentum—hundreds of missiles, including ballistic and hypersonic missiles capable of penetrating the enemy’s air defense systems, precise in targeting, and destructive in impact, inflicting enormous damage and heavy losses on the Israeli enemy.”

Sayyed Abdulmalik noted that the aggression against Iran occurred precisely because Iran is not a submissive or subservient country to the West. Instead, it is an independent and liberated nation building an Islamic renaissance based on its sovereignty—unlike some regimes and countries that are politically submissive and fully aligned with Western dictates, which is deeply troubling to the enemies.

The aggression targeted military leaders, nuclear facilities, nuclear scientists, military installations, and then expanded to government buildings, service facilities, civilian airports, and economic infrastructure—effectively targeting the Iranian people.

Criminal cells linked to Mossad, including traitors and collaborators, played a role in executing this aggression against the Islamic Republic. The military assault was accompanied by a media offensive and psychological warfare. The enemy hoped to achieve a major victory but failed miserably. While some damage is expected in wars, the enemy will never achieve the objectives sought by the Americans and Israelis.

He stressed that the Islamic Republic has repeatedly affirmed that it neither seeks to produce, possess, nor use nuclear weapons, as this is prohibited by its religious and legal stance based on Islamic law.

If the concern is the threat of nuclear weapons to humanity, then the first entity that should be prevented from possessing them is the Israeli enemy—a savage entity unbound by values, morals, laws, or agreements.

The enemies fear Iran’s nuclear capability—not necessarily weapons—but any advancement in military or scientific fields, especially since Iran follows a liberated, Islamic path aligned with the struggles of the oppressed. This is the real reason for their hostility.

He questioned: “Why is America allowed to possess and use nuclear weapons when it poses a threat to humanity? The U.S. has already used nuclear weapons to annihilate populations, as seen in Japan. Why is Israel—an entity built on aggression—allowed to have such weapons?”

The targeting of Iran, led by the Israeli enemy—a tool of Zionism and the West—aims to remove the greatest obstacle to Israeli dominance over the region, eliminate the Palestinian cause, and enforce the Zionist agenda of normalization and perpetual violation of rights.

Sayyed Abdulmalik pointed out that the Israeli enemy comes to the region to occupy, plunder, kill, and exterminate—targeting children, women, and civilians—yet portrays itself as the victim. The enemies seek to establish an equation where the nation’s blood, honor, land, and sanctities are all up for violation.

He described Iran’s retaliation as “devastating, powerful, and effective, with massive momentum—hundreds of missiles, including ballistic and hypersonic missiles capable of penetrating the enemy’s air defense systems, precise in targeting, and destructive in impact, inflicting enormous damage and heavy losses on the Israeli enemy.”

“The Iranian response was so effective that even Israeli media described it as the largest operation since the beginning of Iran’s retaliatory actions.”

Iran, as a strong, authentic Islamic nation, possesses advanced scientific progress, a robust economy based on self-sufficiency, vast and diverse resources, and formidable military capabilities. For decades, Iran has adhered to the Quranic principle: “Prepare against them whatever you are able of power.”

The Islamic Republic possesses all elements of material and moral strength. The Israeli enemy will never be able to defeat or dominate it.

The Iranian people are a great and vibrant nation with a creed of liberation, faith, and belief in the Islamic Revolution. Iran also has wise, strong, and faithful leadership embodied by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Sayyed Ali Khamenei.

He drew a logical comparison: “Iran is a great, authentic Islamic nation—a free, rising, and powerful Muslim state. It is not like the Israeli enemy and the Zionists, who are a collection of rootless individuals with packed suitcases ready to flee at any moment, viewing any attack as an existential threat.”

The enemy’s strikes on some facilities will not achieve their desired results, not even in undermining Iran’s nuclear capabilities. The Israeli enemy will never accomplish this goal.

The structure of the Islamic system in Iran is extremely strong, backed by generations of scholars, leaders, and qualified cadres. The martyrdom of a military leader or figure will not weaken it—there are thousands more ready to take their place.

Regarding Iran’s internal situation, the leader stated that it remains stable, with increased solidarity among the Iranian people and political factions.

The Iranian people will not respond to this aggression with surrender or submission but with anger, resistance, and legitimate defense—fulfilling their Islamic, humanitarian, and national duty.

The Iranian people are provoked by this aggression—angered and motivated to strengthen their unity and resistance. They possess all the elements of survival, steadfastness, and victory.

He emphasized that “the West wanted the Zionist entity to be the spearhead of aggression, domination, and injustice against our nation.” Britain, America, and regimes tied to global Zionism aimed to use Israel as a tool to target the nation, revealing their inherent aggression—something the world must recognize.

The collective hatred of the West, colonial ambitions, and false beliefs drive their support for the Israeli enemy.

Sayyed Abdulmail urged these nations not to succumb to American pressure, as the U.S. seeks to weaken their stance in favor of Israel.

All Arabs should recognize that their real enemy is Israel. They must build military strength, strategic readiness, and national resilience to confront this danger.

Countries whose airspace is violated—especially Iraq—must prevent Israeli aggression, as it is an attack on their sovereignty.

He reaffirmed that these events must raise awareness about the enemies’ true nature and strengthen the correct choices that build the nation’s power, unity, and cooperation among Muslims worldwide.
