President of the Supreme Political Council, Mahdi Al-Mashat, offered his congratulations to the people, army and leadership of the Islamic Republic of Iran on their great victory against the aggressive Israeli enemy and the thwarting of its schemes.
In a message of congratulations sent to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, President Al-Mashat affirmed that this significant victory represented Iran's legitimate defence of its national sovereignty, territorial integrity and national security. He emphasised that this triumph aligns with Iran's unwavering commitment to supporting just causes for the Islamic nation, foremost among them the Palestinian issue.
President Al-Mashat stated: 'The Islamic Republic has inflicted a crushing defeat on the criminal Zionist enemy, causing immense destruction and thwarting its hostile attempts to subjugate Iran through devastation and criminal operations.
Iran has upheld its rights to invest in a peaceful nuclear programme and to possess a defensive arsenal, including ballistic missiles. It has also overcome international aggression aimed at toppling its system and creating internal chaos.'
He added that Iran had "shattered the desperate attempt to impose hegemony over the Arab and Islamic region by neutralising a capable regional power and granting so-called 'Israel' military superiority. This would have led to the region's complete domination and the implementation of what they call 'changing the face of the new Middle East'."
President Al-Mashat noted that the Islamic Republic had emerged victorious from this aggressive war, which had been requested by the United States following regional mediation — the United States having sponsored, planned and participated in the aggression when it realised that Israel's existence would be threatened if the battle continued.
'While we congratulate and commend Iran — its people, government and leadership — on their victory, resilience and patience, we also applaud the national unity demonstrated by the Iranian people, their adherence to their national and Islamic identity, and their defence of their country against political and opposition forces.
This unity shattered the enemies' conspiracies and played a key role in overcoming serious security breaches orchestrated by saboteurs serving the criminal Zionist enemy,' he continued.
President Al-Mashat also extended his congratulations to the Islamic nation and all the world's free peoples, stating that this victory serves as a deterrent to evil and dominating forces globally.
He emphasised that this aggressive war was a consequence of Iran's honourable and supportive stance on the just cause of the Palestinian people and the free world.
