FARAAN: US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told reporters on Friday in regards to Tehran’s response to the Israeli regime’s recent aggressive attacks on the Iranian Consulate in Damascus: “Iran should review the effectiveness of its weapons systems and programs. I believe that Israel has shown that it has a lot of ability to defend himself.”
Analysis:
We don’t need to be a military expert to understand that the US Secretary of Defense has told two big lies in two short sentences, the first is “the ineffectiveness of Iran’s weapons and plans” and the second is that “Israel has shown that it has a high ability to defend itself.” Perhaps before the last October 7 operation of Hamas, he could have deceived the gullible people with such lies, but after this date, the world saw that only because of the attack of a group of resistance youth on the Zionist settlements around the Gaza strip in the context of the “Al-Aqsa Storm” operation, how terror and fear engulfed the entire Israeli regime and its airports and ports were filled with panicked settlers who sought to escape from this land and return to their homelands.
This fear was not only limited to the settlers, but also to the “Israeli army”, which was said to be “invincible”! All the army chiefs came out with yellow faces and talked about the disaster that had befallen their institution. The only job of American President Joe Biden was to rush to reassure “Israel” and reduce the fear of its leaders and send aircraft carriers and thousands of soldiers and planes there and declare a state of emergency in the American bases in the region. In addition, many western countries also sent their fleets to the region.
This was despite the fact that since then, air bridges from the West, especially from the United States, have not been stopped to transfer weapons, planes, military equipment and money (to the Zionist regime) and all this is because the American government knows that the reality of the Israeli regime is exposed. Moreover, its army is not able to deal with several hundreds of thousands of stubborn fighters, and therefore it was necessary to mobilize all the power that the West had at its disposal to defend the existence of this regime.
The same situation was repeated when Iran responded to the aggressive attacks of the Israeli regime on its consulate in Damascus, and Iranian missiles and drones targeted the military bases of this regime, from where the attacks on the Iranian consulate in Damascus had taken place. Even though Iran’s response was not sudden (they knew in advance that Iran wanted to respond to Israel’s aggression) and most of the drones and missiles it used were not of advanced generations, the three superpowers, in addition to some Arab countries, did all they could to mobilize the defense of the Israeli regime, and despite that, neither the American, British, or French defenses nor the Israeli air defense systems managed to repel Iran’s precision missiles.
We ask Austen to stop lying about the weakness of Iran, an Iran that was able to shoot down the symbol of the American war industry, the giant Global Hawk drone that cost 250 million dollars and flew at an altitude of 20,000 feet, but after entering Iran’s airspace in the Strait of Hormuz was targeted by a surface-to-air missile of Iran’s third Khordad air defense system on June 20, 2019. Or when Iran safely landed an American drone after entering its airspace from Afghanistan on December 4, 2011, even though the latest technology was used in the construction of this drone and it can fly up to 15,000 meters above the ground and radars and was considered as an invisible plane guided by satellites.
