Iran destroys 10 US radars in region, says it will decide when war ends

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) spokesperson, Brigadier General Ali Mohammad Naeini, told PressTV on Tuesday that Iranian forces destroyed 10 highly advanced United States radar systems in the Persian Gulf region.

“The Iranian military forces have so far managed to destroy 10 highly advanced radar systems of the United States in the Persian Gulf region, the IRGC says, stressing that Tehran, and not Washington, is the one that determines the end of the current war”

He said they also destroyed a large number of United States drones.

Naeini said Tehran — not Washington — will decide when the current war ends.

Naeini made the remarks ten days after, the article says, a US-Israeli military coalition began an unprovoked war of aggression on the Islamic Republic.

He directly addressed American authorities, claiming their ammunition stockpiles are running out.

He accused US President Donald Trump of trying to hide the scale of US losses from the American people.

Naenini credited multiple waves of Operation True Promise 4, launched by the IRGC’s naval and aerospace units, with inflicting those losses.

He said Trump had become "completely confused and frustrated" by Iran’s strikes.

He declared that "the equations of the region and its future condition are now in the hands of Iran’s Armed forces," and insisted Iran can expand the war if it chooses.

He warned that "security will be for all and insecurity will also be for all."

The source uses the spellings "Naenini" and "Naeini" interchangeably.

Naeini also accused Trump of lying about a supposed diminishment in Iran’s missile launches and said Iran is "more powerful" than at the war’s start.

He said Iran is targeting US and Israeli bases with warheads weighing more than a ton, as per his remarks in the piece.

The article places these claims in the context of Iranian reprisal attacks that, it says, began on February 28 just hours after the US and Israel allegedly launched an aerial aggression by assassinating "former Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and several senior military commanders."

It reports that Iranian attacks have struck locations in Israeli-occupied territories and US military bases in several countries neighboring Iran.

These assertions are presented as IRGC statements in the article, and the piece does not offer independent verification of the radar or drone destructions or other military claims.

The article also notes that some analysts believe Trump has become bogged down, even as Trump called the conflict a "short-term excursion."
