[Iranian Armed Forces Announce Victory in War Against US and Israel] The Central Headquarters of the Iranian Armed Forces, Hatem Anbia, issued a statement on March 8th, announcing a victory in a 40-day war of resistance against the United States and Israel, and stating that it is prepared for a "more intense, longer, and more extensive war." The statement claimed that over the past 40 days, the Iranian Armed Forces struck US bases in the Middle East and key Israeli military, security, and economic targets, inflicting extremely heavy casualties and economic losses on the US and Israel, and completely seizing the initiative in the war. Ultimately, the US and Israel "yielded" and accepted the ceasefire terms proposed by Iran. This proves that Iran is capable of defeating its enemies at any level. The statement emphasized four points: First, Iran has absolutely no trust in the US and Israel and is closely monitoring all their movements in the region. If they make the same mistake again, Iran will retaliate in a "more forceful and lethal manner"; secondly, Iran will proactively and intelligently manage the Strait of Hormuz; thirdly, Iran poses no threat to regional countries, and these countries should cooperate with Iran to expel the US military, the "greatest source of insecurity"; fourthly, the Iranian armed forces will seize every opportunity to strengthen their defense capabilities and, after the withdrawal of hostile forces, will do everything in their power to maintain order and security in the Persian Gulf and international waterways.
