Amir Hatami, the commander-in-chief of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Armed Forces, said: “The war is not over. We have won, but we must preserve this victory. The enemy has taken hard blows, but we must still be ready to take hard strikes.”

He added: “The enemy’s credibility is on the verge of being destroyed. The cries and purple shrieks they make are because their credibility is being destroyed. They are confused and desperate, and they do not know what to do with the 90 million people, who all consider themselves soldiers of the homeland.”

Hatami added: “They say that we put so much pressure on the people of Iran that they will revolt. They say revolt—so what will happen?”
