What happened

The United States failed to achieve any of its objectives and suffered defeat as a result of its attack on Iran, Islamic Republic Army Spokesman Mohammad Akraminia said.

Why it matters

"If we want to make an assessment, we must note that the enemy did not achieve any of its previously defined goals and suffered defeat in this war," he said in an interview with the IRNA news agency.

Common ground

Akraminia added that US actions in the region had only "strengthened unity and solidarity inside Iran." The United States and Israel launched a military operation against Iran on February 28.
