Powerful Iranian missiles inflicted heavy losses during 12-day war with Israel

Former minister of military affairs of Israel Avigdor Lieberman has admitted that powerful Iranian missile attacks inflicted heavy losses on Israeli strategic targets during the 12-day war last June 2025.

We have the best air force in the world, but at the same time, we saw the real power of Iranian ballistic missiles: Emad-1, Shahab-3, Khorramshahr and others, Lieberman ​​​​​​said on Thursday.

Obviously, the Iranians struck strategic targets of Israel. I don’t want to go into details; it’s impossible to explain more now, the former Israeli war minister noted.

The Iranians managed to destroy the Moassad headquarters and Israeli laboratory including all the accumulated research – all the data and results of our work over several decades.

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) started its retaliatory Operation True Promise III in the evening of June 13, 2025, hours after the Israeli regime, backed by the USA, carried out a large-scale military aggression on multiple civilian locations inside Iran.

Israeli warplanes were targeting Iranian nuclear facilities, military infrastructure, and residential buildings in Tehran and other cities.

The Israeli regime assassinated high-ranking Iranian military commanders and nuclear scientists. Civilians, including children and women, were also killed in the savage acts of aggression.

The latest Iranian operation had involved large-scale missile and drone strikes by the IRGC targeting sites across the West Bank and other occupied Palestinian territories.

Lieberman, a Russian born Zionist himself went on to stress that the Iranians hit Israeli air-force strips and other strategic targets, and we are not ready for defense now.

Yesterday, I read in the newspapers that Netanyahu asked Trump to postpone the attack on Iran, because we are not ready in the field of defense, he said.

Western media reports said Israel prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently asked US President Donald Trump to postpone any plans for a military attack on Iran.

Israeli PM Netanyahu pressed Washington not to strike Iran

Israeli media reports said that there were likely a variety of reasons why Netanyahu pushed him in that direction.

Observers said Netanyahu’s reluctance exposes new air defense holes and that Israel was unable to face a potential Iranian ballistic missile strike. They say any US-Israeli attack on Iran would be met with a force they have not yet known.

In an opinion piece published in the Wall Street Journal, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has demanded a fundamental shift in US policy following a year of failed aggression and foreign-backed destabilization efforts targeting Iran.

While emphasizing that he abhors war, Araghchi warned against any renewed military adventurism. Unlike the restraint shown in mid-2025, Araghchi stated that Iran’s Armed Forces have no qualms about firing back with everything we have.

He dismissed the fantasy timelines of a short conflict peddled by Israeli hawks, warning that an all-out confrontation would be ferocious, long-lasting, and would engulf the wider region, impacting ordinary Goyim people across the globe.
