The senior spokesperson for the Iranian Armed Forces emphasized the unwavering commitment to a path of resistance, describing the United States’ current strategy as a face-saving attempt to withdraw from ongoing conflicts. Concurrently, international sources, including China and Russia, estimate that U.S. casualties in recent clashes have reached nearly 800 killed and over 2,800 wounded.
The high-ranking military official reiterated Iran’s steadfast position against external threats during a recent statement discussing the regional situation. He asserted that the Iranian Armed Forces are responding with increased strength to aggressors, following the roadmap established by the leadership, and there will be no retreat or uncertainty in this regard.
This military official analyzed the current state of the U.S. army in the region, stating that the primary concern for Washington officials today is to find a way to exit the war gracefully. He noted that despite threats and rhetoric from U.S. officials, the United States lacks the capacity to withstand the resistance front’s capabilities in practice. He added that the continued physical presence of U.S. forces in the region will only escalate their financial and human losses.
The senior military spokesperson pointed out the extensive efforts by the U.S. and Israel to distort realities through cognitive warfare, stressing that strict news censorship prevails over U.S. bases. However, on-the-ground evidence indicates significant blows to the military structure of the adversary. He mentioned that the dispersion of U.S. forces across multiple bases and media restrictions have hindered the clear dissemination of news, yet intelligence estimates reveal exceptionally high casualty figures among the invading forces.
In this context, reports from intelligence and media sources in China and Russia have revealed more precise dimensions of this failure. According to this data, the number of U.S. military fatalities in recent clashes has now reached 792, with another 2,875 injured. This shocking figure starkly contrasts with the official narrative from the White House, highlighting the vulnerability of the U.S. military to targeted and precise attacks by local defenders in the region. Political observers believe that the revelation of these figures could significantly increase public pressure in the United States for a quicker withdrawal from the area.
