TEHRAN (Defapress) - In an interview with Defapress correspondent, Brigadier General Reza Talaeinik, Deputy Minister of Strategic Planning and Parliamentary Affairs and Spokesman for the Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Support, stated that Iran’s strengthening is the wrath of the Zionist regime and US officials, and stated: Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu are extremely angry and fearful of Iran’s stability, authority, and progress, and damaging the process of progress and national power and weakening national morale were among the enemies’ goals in leading the unrest and supporting the Zionist-American terrorists in the recent unrest in Iran.

Brigadier General Talaeinik continued: Psychological and media warfare and turning the cognitive warfare atmosphere into a street war were the complex design of Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, and their domestic and foreign agents, which were neutralized by the decisive presence of the Iranian nation on January 12; of course, with the sacrifice and unjust martyrdom of the security forces, the Faraja, the Basij, IRGC, and group of people, these targeted and complex riots, which were prepared with complex and multifaceted support from the enemies, were thwarted.

The Spokesman for the Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Support added: Donald Trump’s threats and Benjamin Netanyahu’s warmongering in the region are factors that we must take into account and maintain our comprehensive preparations.

He emphasized: The armed forces and the Iranian nation have repeatedly shown that they will always leave no stone unturned to neutralize foreign aggression and domestic sedition, such as the defeat of the Zionist regime in the imposed 12-day Imposed War.

Brigadier General Talaeinik said: Iran's military preparations have increased compared to the 12-day Imposed War, and now our defense power is such that if an attack is carried out on our country by the United States and the Zionist regime, it will be responded to more painfully and decisively than in the past. And certainly, if the enemy takes a wicked action, he will be more unsuccessful than in the past and will face a more severe defeat. Similarly, in a very short period of time, the Iranian nation, with the help of law enforcement and security forces, thwarted the very complex and widespread chaos planned by the enemies in recent days and defeated their sedition.
