PANews reported on April 8 that the Central Headquarters of the Iranian Armed Forces in Hatem Anbia issued a statement announcing victory in a 40-day war of resistance against the United States and Israel, and stating that it was prepared for a "more intense, longer, and more extensive war." The statement claimed that over the past 40 days, the Iranian Armed Forces struck US bases in the Middle East and key Israeli military, security, and economic targets, inflicting extremely heavy casualties and economic losses on the US and Israel, and completely seizing the initiative in the war. Ultimately, the US and Israel "yielded" and accepted the ceasefire terms proposed by Iran. This proves that Iran is capable of defeating its enemies at any level.
