Iran versus US:
Before and after Islamic Revolution
Before Iran’s Islamic Revolution, just mentioning the US’s name frightened people, let alone engaging in an actual confrontation with them. Now the same nation has reached a point where it doesn’t fear the US. Rather, it frightens them and carries out whatever operations it can.

Iranian nation's determination
The Iranian nation accomplished a great feat in the recent war imposed by the Zionists. This feat was a matter of determination. The very fact that a nation is ready to confront the power of the US and the Zionist regime carries immensely significant value.

A major blow to the US base
The US attacked Iran, and our retaliatory strike against it was very significant. God willing, once censorship is removed, it will become clear what Iran has truly done. The center [Al Udeid Air Base] that was attacked by Iran was an extremely important US center in the region. The strike was a major blow, but it’s definitely possible to inflict an even greater blow on the US and others.

When enemy attacked, our response was crushing
Yes, we consider the Zionist regime to be like cancer, and we believe the US regime is a criminal for backing it. However, we weren’t seeking a war. But when the enemy attacked, our response was crushing.
