Iran Dismantled of US-israeli Spy Network Amid 12-Day Conflict
A senior representative of the Iranian Armed Forces announced that an extensive espionage network operated by adversaries suffered a significant setback and was largely dismantled during the 12-day Israeli-US conflict in June. This development is being hailed as a substantial intelligence victory.
During a Wednesday event in Tehran, Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi underscored what he described as miscalculations made by the US and Israel during the conflict. He asserted that both nations depended heavily on their espionage networks and direct American leadership, operating under the assumption that the Iranian government would fall following the initial attacks.
He maintained that the situation on the ground demonstrated the resolute national determination of the Iranian people.
The spokesperson reported that throughout the conflict, NATO utilized its complete military capabilities and cutting-edge equipment as part of a comprehensive hybrid warfare strategy targeting Iran.
Shekarchi announced that the opposition entered the battlefield with an incorrect evaluation.
He stated, “Despite the loss of key commanders and early setbacks, leadership roles were swiftly filled. Within hours of mounting a defense, Iran commenced a relentless offensive, intensifying in strength each day and leaving the adversary in a state of complete disarray.”
A senior military official stated that the adversary’s failure to accomplish its strategic objectives, such as regime change and the fragmentation of Iran, brought them to a position where they pleaded for the cessation of hostilities. This culminated in the declaration of a unilateral ceasefire.
General Shekarchi highlighted the enhancement of internal stability and the bolstering of national self-assurance as a significant achievement of this resistance. He stated that Iran’s strength has now gained international recognition.
In a historic instance, the nation faced the full spectrum of hybrid warfare tactics. Demonstrating resilience, the country showed that with unity and a steadfast reliance on its citizens, it can surmount any adversity or plot.
He went on to highlight that Iran has come out of the conflict more robust, with its weapons manufacturing operations more active than at any previous time.
**Adversaries Transitioning to Cognitive Warfare**
During a celebration of recent military and intelligence achievements, General Shekarchi issued a warning that adversaries are now shifting their tactics from direct military engagement to cognitive warfare and strategies associated with soft wars.
He cautioned that influencing public opinion poses a greater threat than military aggression, as its primary aim is to alter perceptions and decision-making processes among the populace. He called on the nation to remain alert and resist mirroring adversarial narratives.
He stated that adversaries aim to portray Iran as fragile, whereas Iran remains resilient. The opposition attempts to mask its own intrinsic vulnerabilities through media maneuvering.
General Shekarchi asserted that the Islamic Republic is equipped with the knowledge, expertise, and capability to navigate the complexities of soft warfare and transform these challenges into opportunities. He conveyed his belief that the Islamic Revolution will fulfill its aspirations as its adversaries ultimately falter.
