ALWAGHT- The commander of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters claims Iranian forces dealt a heavy blow to Israel during the 12-day war, while Israel reportedly censors its casualty figures.
Major General Ali Abdollahi praised the contributions of Martyr Amir Ali Hajizadeh and other commanders, highlighting their roles in strengthening Iran’s missile capabilities and defending the country during the 12-day conflict with Israel. He also commemorated martyrs of the eight-year Sacred Defense war, emphasizing their lasting impact on Iran’s military resilience.
Abdollahi claimed that Israeli forces suffered heavy and crushing losses during the 12-day war but censored the extent of their casualties. He noted that these blows compelled Israel to request a unilateral ceasefire, while stressing that Iran has never sought conflict or military confrontation.
The 12-day war began on June 13, 2025, following an Israeli attack during nuclear negotiations with the US, resulting in over 1,000 Iranian casualties, including civilians and key figures. Iran retaliated by striking strategic sites in Israel and the US-controlled Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar, ultimately forcing a halt to the aggression by June 24 through successful military operations.
