Mohammad Hossein Bagheri, Head of the Iqbal Forum and international affairs expert, said in an interview with Channel 365 in Pakistan that in the first week of the war, the United States achieved none of its objectives.

Main points of Mr. Bagheri’s statements:

• After extensive U.S. bombing of Iranian territory, Iran carried out its 25th missile and drone operation against Israel. According to Russian sources, 6 generals, 11 nuclear scientists, and 450 Israeli military personnel were killed.
• The people of Iran say: “We eat soil, but we do not give soil; we give blood, but we do not give our country.” Slogans such as “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” are said to be being realized through the actions of the aggressors.
• Trump, after failing in the first phase of the war, is allegedly trying to use Kurdish separatist groups to create conditions for regime change in Iran, but Iranian armed forces have delivered a strong response to armed separatist groups in Iraqi territory.
• The United States is reported to have used 2,000-pound bombs in attacks on Iran, and after depletion of precision-guided munitions, it has shifted to unguided bombs, which are described as more deadly due to lack of accuracy.
• In response to the question of where the protesters are and why they are not in the streets, Bagheri said Iranian society is very complex. He stated that while there are still significant numbers of people opposed to the system, they would never support an enemy during wartime, and this has been recorded throughout the country’s history.
