〰 Mohammad Reza Naqdi, a senior commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps:

They announced at least twelve different targets. For example, they said: "We intend to seize Khark Island."

They began a very heavy bombing—hundreds of attacks—but they couldn’t even kill a single person there.

Then they said: "We intend to advance onto Iranian soil." They weren’t able to do that.

Then they said: "We intend to open the Strait of Hormuz. We intend to start the Operation of Liberation."

Every five or six days they would announce something new, and they failed in all of them. America can’t talk about any success.
