Despite Tehran's Failed Attacks.. Iranian President Repeats Revenge Claims

بزشكيان

In a speech delivered from Qatar, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian claimed that his country does not seek war, repeating empty threats of a harsh response to Israel if the latter responds to the recent Iranian missile attack. Pezeshkian said: "We do not look for war but seek peace and calm," in stark contrast to his regime's actions and previous statements.

The Iranian President claimed that "Israel pushed us to respond after targeting our guest (Ismail Haniyeh) and escalating the situation in Lebanon and continuing the aggressions in Gaza," ignoring the reality of Haniyeh and Nasrallah's deaths, and attempting to justify Iran's failure to protect its allies. He added that if Israel responds, the Iranian response will be "stronger and more severe," in a clear attempt to cover up Tehran's weak position.

In another context, Pezeshkian claimed that his country was asked to "wait in responding to Haniyeh's assassination on my inauguration day in Tehran to give a chance for negotiations," in an attempt to justify the delay in response and its ineffectiveness. He also appealed to the United States and European countries to intervene to stop what he called "Israeli crimes," ignoring Iran's role in fueling regional conflicts.

In previous statements, Pezeshkian threatened that his country's response would be "doubly destructive" if Israel committed "another mistake," continuing the policy of verbal threats unsupported by tangible actions on the ground.

Tehran claimed its readiness to continue the confrontation, alleging that its response to any Israeli response would be "stronger," despite its failure to achieve any tangible results in its recent attack. Iran claimed it was content with striking 3 military bases and another for Israeli intelligence, in a clear attempt to inflate the size of its operations and hide their weak impact.

In an attempt to show strength, officials in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard revealed the deployment of hundreds of missiles on high alert near Iran's western borders, according to the New York Times. This announcement comes in the context of the Iranian propaganda campaign aimed at hiding the weakness of its strategic position and its inability to effectively respond to the successive blows it has recently received.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard had claimed that its missile attack on Israel comes in response to the assassination of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, in an attempt to link its operations to previous events to justify its failure to protect its allies and its delay in responding.

These Iranian statements and claims reveal a state of confusion and weakness in Tehran's position, which is trying to balance maintaining its image as a regional power and avoiding escalation that could lead to a comprehensive confrontation in which it lacks the ability to withstand against its adversaries.
