We have long declared in this spot a well-known, evidence-based saying: "America is not immune to defeat." Examples include Afghanistan, Iraq, and Yemen. However, we have always been sceptical of these facts and contrary claims as a result of the exaggeration of American power and superiority, as well as the magnification of them by those who fight under their banners in the Arab and Islamic worlds, promoting their meticulously crafted lies, whether in traditional media or modern digital social media.

Four significant events occurred today that support our position and explain Western narratives of lies and deception, particularly those of the United States and Israel.

The first development was the US Department of Defence's announcement, at Trump's request, that General Jeffrey Kruz, the chief of military intelligence, would be removed after more than 34 years of service. The crime he committed was telling the truth when he admitted in a "professional" report authored by himself and his colleagues that the dual US-Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities in June did not achieve its primary goal of destruction. He claimed, based on documented evidence in this extensive report, that the impact of these strikes, despite the massive bombs used, was limited and only halted the Iranian nuclear programme for a few months, contradicting President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's claims that the destruction was comprehensive and devastating.

The second development: Iranian Defence Minister General Aziz Nasirzadeh revealed today, in an interview with a local station affiliated with the official television, important "secrets" about the 12-day war represented by the recent dual Israeli-American aggression against Iran, saying, "If this war had lasted three more days, the Israeli defeat would have been much greater." He went on to say that in the final three days (the ninth day of the war), "the Israelis were unable to intercept any Iranian missile due to the high capabilities of Iranian missiles and the failure of Israeli defensive systems to intercept most of them due to their advanced military management and precision in both destructive and target-hitting aspects and their well-planned dispersion of anti-missile batteries." This issue will be addressed at the end of the article.

The third development: According to precise Iranian military sources, Russia and China have supplied Iran with advanced new weapons, particularly in the field of air defence, allowing its army to confront American and Israeli planes and missiles that may attempt to repeat the previous aggression, as well as "repairing" all nuclear facilities damaged as a result of the Israeli-American dual aggression.

Fourth development: Iranian Defence Minister General Zadeh said that Iran has constructed military factories in several friendly countries in the region but did not name which ones. According to sources close to Iran, they could be in Iraq, Yemen, or Lebanon. He also stated in a speech at the Iranian Defence Day celebration in Tehran the day before yesterday that new missiles with a payload of 25 tonnes and cluster warheads capable of destroying an entire village, among other surprises, would be used to respond to any new Israeli aggression.

These four developments come at a time when American and Israeli threats to launch a new aggression against Iran are returning in an attempt to correct the failure, and indeed defeat, suffered by the first aggression and the inability of the American president and the Israeli prime minister to destroy the Iranian nuclear program first, then the highly advanced missile programme, and finally to change the Iranian Islamic regime by igniting the fuse of an internal population.

After presenting the four aforementioned enhancements, we will conclude this work with two key points:

First, we were struck by General Aziz Nasir Zadeh's television interview, particularly his statement that "if the Iranian response to Israel's aggression had continued with the missiles that hit Tel Aviv, Haifa, Beersheba, Safed, and other occupied Palestinian cities, the defeat and destruction would have been greater." This raises a critical question for General Nasir Zadeh: why was the missile bombardment not extended for another three days, especially when the Iranian rockets had nearly destroyed and rendered worthless Israel's missile defences?

What confirms this fact is the Iranian bombardment's high capability and the evacuation of 7 million Israeli settlers into shelters during the available war period (12 days), and we hope that General Nasir Zadeh, or any other Iranian official, will respond to us and the millions of Arabs and officials on this matter.

Second: We were at the forefront of those who believed in the defeat of the American-Israeli duo in the twelve-day war, and we never believed the statements of Trump and Netanyahu to the contrary, because we were, and still are, getting our information from reliable sources represented by many American and Russian media sources that contradicted the Israeli and American narratives, and it came from the tongues of Trump and Netanyahu immediately after the ceasefire that came as a result of Israeli begging to reduce losses, just as we also get it from the information of eyewitnesses from our people in Palestine, that is, the territories occupied in 1948, and in the West Bank, who went up to the roofs of their homes to squint their eyes at the Iranian missiles that were glittering in the sky on their way to their targets in Tel Aviv and Haifa, striking skyscrapers and hundreds of buildings, military targets and cities, most notably the Weizmann Institute of Technology, the largest in the world. One of our colleagues who arrived in Amman from occupied Jerusalem described how Tel Aviv and Haifa were turned into ghost towns and how the morale of seven million settlers plummeted, with the majority planning to depart without return. Believing that Israel will never enjoy security and stability and that its army is no longer capable of protecting its settlers and carrying out the Zionist project, the US's dismantling of the Ain al-Assad base in Iraq and evacuating its soldiers and weapons is one of the most visible signs of the impending second aggression. Other bases might shortly follow. We'll return.
