Enemy repeated Ba’athists’ miscalculation: Amoli Larijani

📡 Enemy repeated Ba’athists’ miscalculation: Amoli Larijani 📌 Tehran, IRNA – Chairman of Iran’s Expediency Council Ayatollah Sadeq Amoli Larijani says the United States and Israeli regime repeated the same “miscalculation” made by former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and his supporters by believing that military action against Iran would quickly achieve their objectives. In a message posted on his X account on Tuesday, Amoli Larijani said the major lesson of Iran’s eight-year Sacred Defense was that Saddam and his international and regional supporters had assumed that the military structure of the newly established Islamic Revolution would collapse within days and the Ba’athist army would reach the gates of Tehran. Backed by the United States and European powers, Saddam Hussein waged a war of aggression against the Islamic Republic on September 22, 1980, less than two years after the Islamic Revolution in Iran. “What nullified this calculation was the presence and sacrifice of all sections of the people on the fronts,” Amoli Larijani said. He said the same mistake has now been repeated by the “criminal and corrupt leaders” of Israel and the United States, who mistakenly believed that “by assassination and war crimes against the Islamic Republic of Iran, the job would be finished in a short time.” Amoli Larijani said the resistance of the Iranian people and those who remained on the battlefield left the perpetrators “in bewilderment and humiliation.” “Anyone who leaves the will of this nation out of their calculations will have no fate other than that of the Ba’athists,” he said. 📲 ​
