TEHRAN – The commander of the Joint Air Defense Headquarters of the Army has declared that during Operation Truth Promise II, the global community observed the failure of the Zionist regime's defense systems against Iran's determination and military strength.

Brigadier General Ghadir Rahimzadeh, while visiting the air defense sector in the northwest of Iran, remarked, “Today, despite facing numerous pressures, sanctions, and threats, the Islamic Republic of Iran has boldly and strategically emerged as a leading power in the region, and we will steadfastly continue on this path.”

He further noted that the adversary is persistently attempting to conspire against the sacred system of the Islamic Republic. 

Rahimzadeh stated, “The malicious actions of the Zionist regime over the past year, despite the enemy's media campaigns, have not altered the balance of power within the Resistance Axis, and the fighters of this axis will persist in their efforts until the liberation of the al-Quds.”

He underscored, “The occupying Zionist regime has suffered significant setbacks from the Resistance Axis, and the changes in its military leadership reflect its desperation in the face of the resistance's strength.”

Operation True Promise II was a military response executed by Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) aimed at the occupied territories, prompted by Israeli hostilities. 

This marked Iran's second direct military response against the Israeli regime, following the initial Operation True Promise in October 2023.
