Al-Mayadeen in Tehran: The Zionist regime was defeated by Iran.
Al-Mayadeen reporter based in Tehran reported: Last night’s clashes ended with the victory of Iran and the resistance movements against the Zionist regime. He further added: Iran and the resistance movements drew a new equation in the region. It should be noted that Iran’s air defense successfully neutralized and thwarted the aggression of the Zionist regime in the skies of our country during the hours after midnight and early morning today.
Furthermore, media reports suggested that the limited response to Iran was politically motivated, designed to reassure Prime Minister Netanyahu’s supporters that action had been taken.
Israeli media figure Rami Yitzhar, once a senior officer in the Israeli military police, believed that the attack on Iran, which he described as “minuscule and weak,” was a political trick by Netanyahu to show his supporters that he had done something against Tehran.
Commenting on the “explosive” statement of the Israeli army spokesperson, Daniel Hagari, about the attack, Yitzhar said it was “to some extent full of elements of false self-glorification, but his (Hagari’s) body language proves that he understands that it was just a show” and that “the sole purpose of this action was political: to show Netanyahu’s voters that we did something, and that is all.”
Meanwhile, Israeli media reported that former Mossad Intelligence Division chief Brigadier General (Res.) Amnon Sofrin warned that Iran possesses the capability to launch a highly potent operation against “Israel”.
