Iranian Armed Forces spokesman: Replacement commanders will continue martyrs' path
Tehran – Saba: Iranian Armed Forces Spokesman Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi said on Saturday that replacement commanders will continue the martyrs' path with vigor. Shekarchi added: "This is a miscalculation by the Zionist regime and its supporters, who believe they can weaken the armed forces by killing their commanders." Regarding the Zionist regime's claim that Iran targeted three residential areas in Operation True Promise 3, he said, according to the Iranian news agency IRNA: "The fake Zionist regime attacked our residential areas yesterday morning, Friday, killing a large number of innocent people, including women and children. Therefore, this regime is considered a criminal usurper who attacked residential areas and killed innocent people." Shekarchi added: "The Zionist regime is completely incapable of intercepting our powerful and highly accurate missiles, which are capable of penetrating various Zionist defenses, even with the assistance of the regime's allies, especially the United States. Our missiles have bypassed these defenses several times, and the "True Promise 3" missile was launched with far greater destructive power. Therefore, these claims are the result of their inability." The Iranian Armed Forces spokesman continued: "If some of our missiles hit residential areas, it is because the Zionist regime created interference to divert the missiles' path from hitting military targets. This actually prevents our missiles from hitting military centers, especially the headquarters of the Zionist Ministry of Defense. Naturally, they were unsuccessful despite all these tricks."
