News - Middle East:  Prime Minister Ahmad Al-Rahwi praised the strong response of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the Zionist aggression, noting that Iranian missiles have struck key military and strategic sites, forcing the Zionists into shelters for several consecutive days.

"The Zionist regime’s security and deterrence power, which had dominated the region for years, has collapsed in just a few days under Iran’s missile strikes," Al-Rahwi stated.

He stressed that the Islamic nation is facing a severe crisis as it stands by helplessly, watching its brothers in Gaza being exterminated by the Zionist enemy for over 21 months, deprived of food and medicine.

Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister Allama Muhammad Muftah described current developments in the Arab world as a reflection of disarray, distortion of consciousness, and deliberate misinformation—led by Arab Zionists seeking to justify the Israeli attack on Iran and cast doubt on the effectiveness of Iran’s response to global arrogance.

Muftah pointed out that these Arab Zionists are trying to convince the Ummah that Iran—not “Israel”—is the real enemy, despite Israel’s ongoing crimes: the killing and displacement of thousands of Palestinians since the Nakba in 1948, and its role in fueling wars across the region.

He cited the 1967 defeat, which was a historic humiliation for Arabs and Muslims, as Israel managed in six days to occupy the West Bank, the Jordan River, Al-Quds, all of Sinai, southern Syria, and southern Lebanon—territories the size of a country. These aggressions continued through the 1982 invasion of Beirut and beyond, targeting most Arab nations.

Iran’s latest strikes under Operation True Promise III have shattered the Zionist regime’s deterrence, targeting key sites including "Ben Gurion" Airport, a biological research center, and command hubs using advanced, maneuverable missiles.

Over 20 phases have been launched in response to Israeli aggression that has killed over 400 Iranians since June 13. Sirens reportedly sounded only after direct hits, plunging the occupied territories into chaos.

The IRGC confirmed these were only initial capabilities, warning of further escalation.
