"The unprovoked aggression against Iran was the product of blatant miscalculations and mistakes. It was predicated on the illusion that Iran had been weakened and thus incapable of resisting and responding forcefully to a massive onslaught by two nuclear powers."
"Policymakers in Washington and Tel Aviv and in some regional capitals convinced themselves that a swift campaign of economic pressure, sabotage, covert operation, decapitation and indiscriminate war crimes could break the Islamic Republic and leave it with little opportunity to respond."
"Iran's response, measured yet resolute, demonstrated not only its military resilience but also its capacity to react on a scale that reverberated far beyond the region."
"For five decades, they consistently stood on the wrong side of history supporting Saddam Hussein's aggression and even assisting Israel to intercept Iranian missiles launched in self-defence."
The Israeli-US war on Iran has highlighted the limitations of foreign-backed security and the risks of regional reliance on external powers. The Gulf Cooperation Council has noted a significant loss of confidence in Iran due to its actions, necessitating Iran to rebuild trust. Miscalculations by policymakers in Washington, Tel Aviv, and regional capitals underestimated Iran's resilience and response capabilities. Historical support for adversaries of Iran by some Arab neighbors contributed to these miscalculations, emphasizing the need for a reassessment of alliances and strategies.
