Iran to US and Israel: 'You Underestimated Us'

Iranian leaders, including Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Baqer Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, state that Iran has proven it was underestimated, according to aljazeera.

They argue that their opponents believed the war would be a short operation and that the country would collapse within days of bombing and after the elimination of the system's leadership. However, this did not happen.

Instead, the war is now entering its second month and is expanding rather than being limited. At the same time, there is no decrease in Iran's military strength, nor in the number of drones and missiles it launches against its opponent.

Furthermore, the Houthis in Yemen have now become involved in the conflict, while Hezbollah in Lebanon continues to put up strong resistance, despite assessments that it had been completely weakened after the war in Gaza.

According to the Iranian side, all this - along with the continued control of the Strait of Hormuz or the partial disruption of shipping there - are indications that Iran is not going to be defeated.

They also argue that this situation is causing great disappointment in the United States and Israel, and that in reality they are the ones seeking negotiations, not Iran. They conclude by saying that they are not going to be defeated and that they are ready to continue the conflict for as long as necessary.
