PNN – A prominent Arab-speaking analyst said regarding the Supreme Leader’s first statement: What can be deduced from all the above points is that a new roadmap is being drawn.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, Abdul Bari Atwan, editor-in-chief of the trans-regional newspaper Rai al-Youm and a prominent analyst of the Arab world, dedicated the new editorial of this electronic newspaper to the statement of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran and wrote: Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, issued his first statement on Thursday evening, at the same time as Iran and Hezbollah fired hundreds of precision missiles at the north, center, and south of occupied Palestine.
Abdul Bari Atwan added: This statement by Ayatollah Khamenei promises a bloody, destructive, and dark future for the American-Zionist aggressors and an escalation of the war of attrition that will deal them a fatal blow and will defeat all their plans, including the attempt to change the regime in Iran and bring to power a submissive regime that kneels before the rulers of Washington and Tel Aviv and is a copy of the neighboring Arab regimes.
Strategic and key points of the first statement of Iran’s new leadership
The famous Palestinian writer emphasized: Ayatollah Seyyed Mujtaba’s first statement was to renew and strengthen the Islamic Revolution of Iran and its youth and expand the scope of the regional and international aspirations of this revolution, as it contains phrases and principles that reflect the backbone of Iran’s new roadmap. We have studied this historic statement many times with care and depth, and we can identify its main strategic and well-researched points as follows:
First: The new leader of Iran, whose family members were martyred in a surprise attack by the enemy on their home, which they did not leave and chose martyrdom within the walls of their home, emphasized that the revenge of the martyrs, all Iranian martyrs, is not yet complete and avenging their blood will be one of the most prominent topics of the next stage.
Second: The Strait of Hormuz will remain closed, meaning that any attempt to open it by force, whether by American aircraft carriers or their escorts, will be met with decisive resistance. This means that energy prices may continue to rise to unprecedented levels, leading to the collapse of the global economy, especially the West.
Third: Targeting American military bases in neighboring countries with missiles and drones will continue and intensify as long as these bases exist and missiles and planes are fired from them to bomb Iran.
Fourth: Activating other united fronts and key members of the resistance axis, in an indirect reference to the Popular Mobilization Forces in Iraq and the “Ansarullah” movement in Yemen.
Fifth: Emphasizing the obligation of the aggressors to pay full compensation to Iran for all damages caused to it, and threatening them with the seizure of their property, or even the destruction of this property, if this conditional request is not met.
Seyyed Mujtaba’s statement firmly outlined a roadmap for punishing the aggressors.
Abdul Bari Atwan continued his note, stating: What can be deduced from all the above points is that the new roadmap that is being drawn is a plan for escalating the conflict, a long and corrosive war, and in the near future there is no room for returning to negotiations or offering any concessions in response to the US conditions, especially the cessation of all enrichment activities and dismantling the missile industry and advanced drones, which are considered an existential threat to the Israeli occupation regime.
According to this article, it is noteworthy that the word negotiations or dialogue was never mentioned in Seyyed Mojtaba’s first statement, meaning that this page has been closed and military escalation is the bigger theme of the next stage. Seyyed Mojtaba will govern Iran with the support of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and all Iranians in the next stage of revenge and retaliation, and perseverance until the end in the fields of confrontation.
Abdul Bari Atwan continued: When we said that Hezbollah had improved and rebuilt its military capabilities and missile factories and now had 7,500 advanced missiles, in addition to thousands of drones, we were accused of exaggeration. But now Hezbollah’s missile attacks confirm what we have been saying on this platform for the past few months.
The note concludes by stating that the survival and stability of the Islamic regime in power, which was confirmed by the election of the 88-member Committee of Experts, composed of Iranian elites and sages, to lead Seyyed Mojtaba, is the first victory against the aggressors and their conspiracies. Certainly, other victories are on the way, whether on the battlefields and fronts or in the international or regional political arena.
