TEHRAN (Defapress) - In an interview with Defapress correspondent  Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan, the  Head of the Center for Strategic Studies of the Islamic Republic of Iran's Army, explained the strategic dimensions of the successes of the Islamic Republic of Iran against its enemies, referring to the latest developments in the Ramadan War. He stated: “What has happened in the country these days is the result of the rationality and prudence that the martyred leader of the Islamic Revolution institutionalized in the structure of the system.”

Brigadier General Pourdastan continued: “The Ramadan War, with all its ups and downs, despite being fraught with numerous incidents, demonstrates the success and pride of the wise Iranian nation and the armed forces in the grand strategy of victory through resistance with rationality and prudence.”

Reviewing the early days of the Ramadan War, the Head of the Center for Strategic Studies of the Islamic Republic of Iran's Army said: “The American, Hebrew, and Arab enemy sought to achieve a decisive victory and disintegrate the sacred system of the Islamic Republic with a combined and cowardly offensive in the first decade of Ramadan, but they were faced with the people’s fierce resistance and the precise and planned offense of the armed forces.” This rapid and coordinated response disrupted the enemy's computing system and left them confused and confused in their behavior and speech.

He stated: The arrogant enemy, who had entered the battlefield with the desire to repeat the Venezuelan experience, suddenly found himself trapped in a quagmire. The enemy entered with a complete plan centered on a military invasion and the elimination of the decision-making elements of the system, but the intelligence and timely action of the people and the armed forces thwarted all predetermined scenarios, including internal rebellion and the invasion of border thugs.

In response to the question of what was the secret of these successes, Brigadier General Pourdastan noted: The most prominent feature of the sacred system of the Islamic Republic of Iran during this period of time and, in a sense, the keystone of our success was "rationality and prudence"; rationality and prudence were the anchor of balance and the center of gravity of all plans, decisions, and actions.

The Head of the Center for Strategic Studies of the Islamic Republic of Iran's Army added: Today, sworn enemies, despite all their hatred and grudges, acknowledge Iran's rationality in defense and aggression, and many free thinkers in the world are also amazed by how a country, after the assassination of its first person, not only does not experience shock and a decision-making vacuum, but also immediately resists aggression with calmness and prudence.

He considered this rationality to be the result of the guidance and management of the martyred leader of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khamenei (RA). He reminded us that a wise leader, with his insight and insight, created such a strength in the internal structure of the system that even in their absence, the country can stand on its own feet, and fierce storms will not disrupt its will.

Brigadier General Pourdastan said: The enemy soldiers have seen the power and strength of our armed forces well and have tasted strong slaps. A concrete example of this is the crew of the USS Gerald Ford, who, fearing confrontation with Iranian youth and having experienced the defeat of the USS Abraham Lincoln, deliberately set fire to their ship to stay away from the shrapnel of war.

Referring to the lack of motivation among American soldiers, the Head of the Center for Strategic Studies of the Islamic Republic of Iran's Army noted: Unlike American politicians, the prevailing feeling among American military personnel is that this war is not their war and that they are the playthings of the leaders of the Zionist regime; therefore, it is obvious that such soldiers are never ready to sacrifice.
