The Zionist enemy suffered a strategic failure after being unable to achieve any of its declared objectives in its aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran. This was due to Iran’s advanced stance, which went beyond mere resilience to inflicting severe losses on the Zionist enemy—both human and material—forcing it to submit and seek diplomatic solutions to end its crisis.

At the onset of the Israeli aggression against Iran, the Zionist leadership and former U.S. President Donald Trump launched waves of threats and announced a target bank. These objectives included eliminating Iran’s revolutionary and military leadership, ending the Iranian nuclear program, and destroying its missile capabilities. The threats escalated to the point of declaring the fall of the regime and demanding Tehran’s surrender.

Iran absorbed the shock, immediately appointed replacements for its martyred leaders, and promptly deployed advanced generations of missiles with unprecedented destructive power and the ability to penetrate all advanced defense systems. Tehran’s target bank included highly sensitive and carefully selected sites: command and control centers, various intelligence headquarters, research institutes, and economic installations. Twelve days of relentless Iranian missile waves reduced the enemy entity to rubble, forcing it to abandon its arrogance and plead with Iran for diplomatic resolutions far from the language of fire and gunpowder.

Considering the scale of the losses inflicted on the Zionist enemy, it becomes clear that Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire agreement did not stem from a moral awakening but rather a desperate attempt to save the Zionist entity from a battle that nearly consigned it to the dustbin of history.

Thousands of Zionist Casualties

The Iranian strikes resulted in thousands of Zionist casualties. "Magen David Adom" reported handling 28 dead and 1,319 injured. These figures reflect the enemy’s confusion and conflicting reports, as the "Ministry of Health" in the Zionist entity confirmed on the eighth day of the war that the number of injured had exceeded 2,500. Meanwhile, "Yedioth Ahronoth" stated that the number of wounded during the first 10 days reached 1,800.

While the Zionist enemy officially acknowledged the killing of nine Zionists on the final day of escalation—including a corporal from the multidimensional Unit 888—this strongly suggests that the true death toll is significantly higher.

"Channel 13" economic affairs analyst Matan Hodorov stated Thursday that "Israel paid the highest price in blood" in the war with Iran. He noted that 28 Israelis were killed, including six inside fortified rooms in Be’er Sheva during the final barrage and that 3,170 others were injured by 550 missiles.

The Most Severe Strikes

The mayor of the "Bat Yam" settlement in "Tel Aviv", Zvika Brot, revealed Friday the scale of destruction inflicted on the settlement by the recent Iranian bombardment, confirming it had "suffered the harshest strike in its history", with an entire neighborhood covering 120 dunams completely obliterated.

In an interview with the Zionist "Kan" channel, Brot explained that the Iranian strike on "Bat Yam" in a single day caused unprecedented devastation, noting the number of dead and injured and the scope of destruction make it the most devastated site in “Israel”, not just in Bat Yam. He stated that 160 dunams were damaged, and out of 120 affected buildings, 20 would be completely demolished next week—effectively erasing an entire neighborhood. He added, "Look around you, all surrounding buildings were damaged, even those not directly hit," noting that about 2,000 settlers were left homeless due to the strike.

Massive Destruction

The Zionist enemy admitted that Iran launched between 500 and 550 ballistic missiles and over 1,000 drones. According to the Israeli "Globes" website, each Iranian missile that landed in the settlements resulted in an average of 4,000 compensation claims from settlers. The site added that the Iranian missile attacks led to the evacuation of about 18,000 Zionists within just 10 days—12,000 of whom moved into hotels, while the rest found rental housing.

Iranian missiles struck vital and sensitive installations in addition to thousands of Zionist homes and facilities. In preliminary figures, the enemy revealed civilian compensation claims but did not disclose the extent of damage to key installations like the "Weizmann Institute" and the "Bazan Refinery" in Haifa Port, where losses are estimated in the billions.

The Zionist newspaper "Maariv" reported on Wednesday that Amir Dahan, director of the "Compensation" department at the Zionist tax authority, received nearly 40,000 compensation claims within two weeks and anticipated this number could reach 50,000. Dahan said authorities had already paid 2.5 billion shekels and expected the total to reach 5 billion shekels (about $1.5 billion), reflecting the immense scale of destruction documented in images of entire neighborhoods razed. Even Dahan himself expressed astonishment, saying, "These are amounts we have never seen before as direct damage," adding that the damage to the "Weizmann Institute" and "Bazan" refinery alone is valued in the billions. He estimated damage at the "Weizmann Institute" alone at 2 billion shekels (around $500 million), with around 25 buildings requiring demolition due to missile damage.

The "Israeli Home Front Command" reported that around 240 buildings within the Zionist entity, housing over 2,000 apartments, were destroyed or severely damaged by Iranian missiles, leaving some 9,000 people homeless.

The Zionist economic newspaper "Calcalist" reported that building damage led to the evacuation of 5,000 Israelis. It revealed government efforts to force settlers to return to damaged homes.

Channel 13 reported that 30,809 housing units were affected—one-third of them irreparable—with a reconstruction cost of 4 billion shekels ($1.4 billion), according to the tax authority. It added that 11,294 of the residents are now homeless, with around 10,400 evacuated to hotels.

The channel noted that 4 billion shekels ($1.4 billion) is also the cost of Israeli air force operations. It concluded: "Although this was a short and focused war, in financial terms, every day of confrontation with Iran is more expensive than the war that began on October 7."

Heavy Economic Burden

Zionist reports indicate the Zionist enemy incurred nearly $5 billion in expenses—roughly $725 million per day—for offensive operations against Iran and defensive measures against Tehran’s missiles and drones. According to "Calcalist", the compensation fund alone required about 5 billion shekels ($1.44 billion). The paper noted that in central "Tel Aviv" and "Gush Dan", approximately 25,000 claims were filed, representing about 65% of all claims. In Asgalan, 10,800 claims were filed, in Akka 2,600, in al-Quds 94, and hundreds more in other centers.

The paper added that markets now expect a government deficit exceeding 6% this year, above the 4.9% ceiling set by the Zionist regime’s government.

Channel 12 correspondent Yael Odem stated that 208 educational institutions in "Israel", mostly in "Tel Aviv", were damaged by the Iranian missile strikes.

$12 Billion in Losses

According to a "Bloomberg" report, the cost of damage suffered by "Tel Aviv" during the 12-day war with Iran is estimated at 10 billion shekels—about $3 billion. This figure includes rebuilding damaged structures and compensating affected companies, based on data from the Zionist "Ministry of Finance" and "Tax Authority".

Zionist "Shai Aharonovitch", director-general of the "Tax Authority", said this was "the biggest challenge we’ve ever faced—there’s never been this level of damage in Israel’s history." Notably, this estimate does not include the cost of replacing expended weapons and defense systems, which is expected to significantly increase the final tally once evaluations are complete.

Zionist "Finance Minister" Bezalel Smotrich stated the total losses could reach $12 billion, while the "Bank of Israel" Governor, Amir Yaron, estimated the cost at half that in a "Bloomberg" TV interview. Regardless of the final figure, "Bloomberg" noted it poses a serious challenge to an economy already under stress from 20 months of broader conflict.

The Zionist military radio acknowledged that "the Israeli military operation against Iran is the most complex in the army’s history", concluding that "the Iranian threat will remain with us, and Iran will not disappear". It added that "Israel" is now preparing to rebuild its strength in case war with Iran resumes.

Strategic Targets

Some Iranian attacks were unconventional, demonstrating exceptional tactical abilities—such as the strike on the command, control, and intelligence center of the Israeli army (IDF C4I), located within the Gav-Yam tech complex near a hospital.

Among the major military targets hit were "Nevatim", "Hatzerim", "Ramon", and "Glilot" bases (the headquarters of Unit 8200, the Israeli military’s intelligence unit) north of "Tel Aviv". The strikes also targeted the "Weizmann Institute of Science" in "Rehovot"—a key hub of Israeli research—and the "Israel Institute for Biological Research" in "Ness Ziona", a top-secret government facility specializing in toxins and medical chemistry.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard also hit the Zionist military intelligence headquarters, the Mossad operations center responsible for assassinations and sabotage, the Haifa ammonia plant, power plants, and critical infrastructure. The missile campaign even targeted Lod Airport and its surrounding areas.

“Israel” Surrenders

With the failure of Israeli and American attempts to impact Iran’s missile and nuclear capabilities or to intercept Tehran’s missiles, and with the growing economic toll from increasingly precise Iranian strikes, it became inevitable for the Zionist enemy to climb down and reassess the situation based on new deterrence equations set by Iran. Consequently, it was forced to accept a ceasefire and abandon its previously declared goals, which had proven unachievable.

The Iranian Supreme National Security Council declared that Iran had achieved victory and compelled its enemies to request a ceasefire, noting that the alertness of the resistance, the precision of timing, and the unity of the Iranian people had thwarted the enemy’s main strategy.

Head of the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization, Mohammad Eslami, confirmed that Iran had planned to ensure the uninterrupted continuation of its nuclear industry. "We are now assessing the damage, and we have proactive plans to rise again. We are determined not to allow any halt in the path of our nuclear industry," he stated—affirming the American and Israeli failure to halt Iran’s nuclear program.
