Iranian Army Commander Brig. Gen. Kioumars Hatami — referred to as 'Hatami' (חאתמי) in the original Persian and in the Telegram source — delivered a statement Monday evening, according to Iranian Telegram channels affiliated with state media. Hatami referred to the 'Ramadan War' and the '12-Day War,' asserting that the enemy mistakenly believed that the assassination of commanders and revolutionary leaders would end the Islamic Republic. Instead, he said, the Iranian nation rose again. The statement is the latest in a series of defiant addresses from Iranian military and political figures marking the anniversaries of recent conflicts.
