The spokesman for the Iranian Army said on Sunday that the retaliatory operations against the ongoing US-Israeli aggression will continue until the enemy is brought to a "point of genuine remorse," noting that such an outcome is a strategic necessity.
In a statement, Brigadier General Mohammad Akraminia said the enemy's objectives have clearly not been achieved after more than a month of unchecked aggression.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran's system stands with authority, has responded to threats, and in some cases has been able to reciprocally operationalize threats against the opposing side," said the army spokesperson.
"The opposing side has, in fact, been defeated."
According to Akraminia, the ultimate goal of continuing the resistance is to instill a lasting sense of remorse in the enemy – a psychological and strategic state that would serve as a powerful deterrent against any act of aggression in the future.
While acknowledging that some may interpret this approach as emotional, the spokesperson emphasized that it is "completely based on strategic rationality."
He said bringing the enemy to this point is essential to prevent the recurrence of war.
"If this goal is achieved, the level of deterrence will increase to such an extent that the enemy will no longer dare to take action against the country again," he stated.
The remarks came as the war imposed on Iran entered its sixth week, with Iranian armed forces continuing to have an upper hand on the battlefield and the enemy looking for an off-ramp amid heavy human and material losses.
Iranian armed forces have so far carried out 97 waves of missile and drone strikes with advanced weaponry targeting Israeli military facilities in the occupied territories, as well as US occupation bases and assets scattered across the West Asia region.
