Statements of Mohammad Hossein Bagheri in an interview with Dunya Network in Pakistan

Infrastructure situation
Following attacks on oil facilities on the outskirts of Tehran, a layer of toxic haze has covered the city’s sky. This condition is due to strikes on a refinery; however, despite this, public morale remains strong, and infrastructure is being actively restored.

Strategy of reciprocal response
All pillars of the system—including the government, leadership, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and the army—are united on one principle: “proportional response and retaliation.” If water facilities are hacked or attacked, Iran will target the enemy’s water facilities; if civilian homes are struck, Iran will respond in kind. In this context, fuel and water facilities in Haifa and Tel Aviv have been targeted by Iranian missile and drone strikes.

High precision of Iranian missiles
Compared to last year’s conflicts, the accuracy of Iranian missiles and drones has significantly improved. Iran has not yet used its full capabilities, such as the “Hadid” drones, but is now focusing on precisely identifying locations of U.S. forces and senior officers in hotels across Gulf countries.

Heavy U.S. casualties and media censorship
Intelligence reports indicate a significant number of U.S. soldiers have been killed in bases and hotels across the region (including Bahrain). Strict censorship is being imposed on Western media to conceal the scale of these losses.

Remarkable resilience of the Iranian people
Despite bombings and damage to homes, people are not afraid; instead, they are present in the streets demanding “final retaliation.”

There are no signs of food shortages in stores, and people, demonstrating high civic discipline, purchase only daily necessities to avoid creating shortages.

War against a “network of evil”
According to this narrative, the Iranian public believes the opponent is not just a conventional army, but also corrupt networks and criminal groups (such as the Epstein network) targeting hospitals and children. The killing of 170 schoolchildren aged 7 to 12 in recent attacks has strengthened public resolve against this “hostile front.”

Role of Russia and China
Russia is currently assisting Iran mainly through intelligence sharing. Moscow and Beijing appear to be closely observing the situation and, according to this view, are satisfied watching Western powers face challenges against Iran’s resolve.

Conclusion:
As long as unity among the people and the dedication of medical staff (who continue working even while injured) persist, Iran considers itself on the path to victory in this conflict.
