New Iranian leader’s first statement reveals reprisal strategy

Trump is planning to end the war and depart… And where has Netanyahu gone? And “Hezbollah” demonstrated its skills and exposed its opponents.

Mr Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader, gave his first remark on Thursday evening, coinciding with the simultaneous launch by Iran and Hezbollah of hundreds of precise missiles on the northern, central, and southern portions of the Israeli occupation state. This portends a bleak, destructive future for the American-Israeli dual aggression, as well as an escalation of the war of attrition that will strike at its heart, thwarting all of its plans, most notably the attempt to change the regime and install a submissive one that kneels before the rulers of Washington and Tel Aviv, a carbon copy of the neighbouring Arab regimes.

Ayatollah Mojtaba’s first statement served as a rebirth and reinforcement of the Iranian Islamic Revolution, its youth, and the growth of its regional and worldwide goals, thanks to the phrases and concepts it contained, which form the foundation of the new Iranian roadmap.

We have analysed this historic proclamation numerous times through a thorough reading of the lines, principles, and everything in between, and the well-studied essential strategic themes are as follows:

• First, the new Iranian Supreme Leader, whose father, mother, wife, sister, daughter, and husband were killed in a treacherous attack on their home—which they never left and chose to become martyrs within—confirmed that the vengeance for the martyrs, all Iranian martyrs, is not complete and will remain one of the most prominent themes of the upcoming phase.

• Second, the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed to oil and gas navigation; any attempt to open it by force will be greeted with opposition, whether from American aircraft carriers or their supporting ships. Such an outcome could mean energy prices skyrocket and set new records, particularly in the Western world.

• Third, targeting American military bases in neighbouring countries with missiles and drones will continue and grow for as long as the bases exist and missiles and aircraft are launched from them to destroy Iran.

• Fourth, activate additional ally fronts and crucial members of the Resistance Axis, which refers to the coalition of groups opposing U.S. influence in the region, including the Popular Mobilisation Forces in Iraq and Yemen’s “Ansar Allah” movement.

• Fifth, we emphasise that those who attack Iran must fully compensate for any losses they cause. We threaten them with property confiscation or destruction if they fail to comply with this conditional requirement.

The aforementioned criteria indicate a new strategy that involves intensifying the battle, waging an attrition war, and demonstrating long-term resilience. There is no room in the near future for returning to negotiations or making any concessions in response to American conditions, particularly ceasing all enrichment activities and dismantling the advanced missile and drone industries, which pose an existential threat to the Israeli occupation state.

It is worth noting that the phrase “discussions” or “dialogue” will not be included in Mr. Mojtaba’s first statement, implying that this chapter has concluded and that military escalation will be the dominant focus of the next phase. The clearest articulation of this direction is what he said in his aforementioned statement: he went to see his father’s body after his martyrdom. He saw a “mountain” in his perseverance.

Mr Mojtaba will rule Iran with the assistance of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and its hardline hawks in the approaching phase of revenge and retribution, and he will remain steadfast in the areas of conflict until the end. Perhaps last Thursday night, when hundreds of precision missiles rained down from Hezbollah in the north and Iran in the east, marked the start of a new phase. Despite Israeli censorship and blackout laws, the first reports suggest that Greater Tel Aviv, the cities of Haifa and Akka in the north, and Ashdod and Dimona in the south have been destroyed.

Netanyahu has vanished and may be living in an 80-metre-deep refuge. As evidenced by his recent pronouncements, Trump is preparing for a swift withdrawal from the conflict. He spoke bluntly about the war’s coming end. He stated that there are no targets in Iran to strike, despite previously threatening a ground invasion, taking enriched uranium and moving it outside Iran, and assassinating the new Iranian Supreme Leader, who will not be in power for long.

When we claimed that “Hezbollah” had recovered and rebuilt its military capabilities and missile factories and now had 7,500 sophisticated missiles and thousands of drones, they accused us of hyperbole. And now, yesterday’s rockets corroborate what we have been stating on this platform for the past few months, while they reply by declaring that “Hezbollah” is defeated.

The survival of the Iranian Islamic system in power, as verified by the election of the Assembly of Experts, composed of 88 knowledgeable men who represent the cream of Iranian cunning and wisdom, is a source of comfort for Mr Mojtaba, who is wounded and serves as the general guide. More triumphs are undoubtedly on the road, whether on the battlefields and front lines or in the international or regional political arenas.
