On April 8, Iran declared a "historic and crushing defeat" of the
United States and the Israeli regime after 40 days of war. "Iran has
achieved a great victory and has forced criminal America to accept its own
10-point proposal," the statement issued by Iran's Supreme National
Security Council read. "Iran and the Resistance have almost completely
destroyed the American military machine in the region," it stated.
"They have inflicted crushing and deep blows on the vast infrastructure
and capabilities that the enemy had built and deployed around the region over
many years for this war against Iran."
"We congratulate all the people of Iran on this victory," the
statement read, "and emphasise that until the details of this victory are
finalised, there remains a need for the resilience and prudence of officials
and the preservation of unity and solidarity among the people of Iran."
According to the statement, the United States had agreed to a 10-point
proposal that fundamentally committed it to:
- No new aggression against Iran
- Continued Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz
- Acceptance of enrichment
- Removal of all primary sanctions
- Removal of all secondary sanctions
- Termination of all UN Security Council resolutions
- Termination of all resolutions from the International Atomic Energy
Agency's Board of Governors
- Payment of compensation to Iran
- Withdrawal of US combat forces from the region
- Cessation of war on all fronts, including against the heroic Islamic
Resistance of Lebanon
For nearly 40 days Iranians had taken to the streets every night to defend
the Islamic Revolution in defiance of US/Israeli savage bombardment. During the
hours before the announcement of the ceasefire agreement, following US
President Donald Trump's psychopathic threats to erase Iranian civilisation,
crowds were noticeably larger. Demonstrators were condemning US/Israeli
attacks, thanking the armed forces for their missile responses and demanding
continued retaliation against the aggressors.
Israeli Media Admits Defeat
According to Israel's
Maariv
newspaper, the US/Israeli war ended in a
"decisive victory for Iran", with both the US and Israel conceding to
a "strategic surrender" and retreating from the battlefield. The
report underscored the "massive defeat" of the US and Israeli forces,
which would carry long-term consequences, particularly in Lebanon, and would
bolster Iran's regional position in the Persian Gulf for years to come. The
Israeli newspaper also emphasised that Iran has imposed a deal largely of its
own design on the US, rejecting Trump's proposal.
