Intense pressure and the threat to withdraw from talks with the United States in Islamabad from Tehran forced the Zionist regime to stop its military attacks on the Lebanese capital, Beirut, a high-ranking security source told Press TV on Friday.

Iran's unchallenged and eternal dominance over the Strait of Hormuz — rooted in geography, law, and asymmetric power — is absolute, and no power can undermine or threaten it.

Iran’s asymmetric strategy – high-precision missiles, anti-ship systems, and short-range air defenses – decimated US power projection in West Asia, achieving a historic victory and establishing a new model of regional deterrence.

The war against Iran shattered assumptions of US technological supremacy, transforming sanctions-driven isolation into strategic autonomy and establishing resilience as the new currency of global power.

Dr. Kamal Kharrazi, head of the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations and former Iranian foreign minister, has succumbed to injuries sustained in a US-Israeli attack earlier this week.

The Israeli regime is facing its worst strategic crisis following the 40-day war against Iran, with a convergence of unsustainable economic burdens, eroding international support, and a deepening military manpower crisis, according to an American analyst.

Washington accepted a regional ceasefire after its 40-day aggression failed to achieve any of the objectives, including dominating Iran and plundering its oil reserves, a former Iranian lawmaker said.
