The spectacular military maneuvers, codenamed “Great Prophet” staged by the Iranian armed forces, involving the locally manufactured sophisticated means of defence and deterrent, including drones and ballistic missiles, were a warning to the illegal Zionist entity of the Armageddon it will face if it were to carry out its threats of attacking Iran’s peaceful atomic installations.
Israel may have understood that its so-called ‘iron dome’ could be shattered to piece, along with the Dimona nuclear weapons manufacturing plant, if it continues to play with fire, but what was surprising were the undue remarks of Britain, which is located thousands of kilometers away from Iran and West Asia.
The Iranian military exercises were held in the southern coastal waters of Iran, and not in the English Channel.
Neither did the Islamic Republic test the power and precision of its ballistic missiles in the Irish Sea, or for that matter in the North Sea; nor did the Iranian navy sail into the Atlantic Ocean to display its state-of-the-art conventional means of defence to provoke Britain and any other European country or to disturb international peace.
Then what was the reason for the UK Foreign Office to criticize the drills that are every country’s sovereign right?
What made London, which along the US, is the main supplier of the lethal weapons with which Saudi Arabia has killed 370,000 men, women, and children of Yemen over the past six years, say that Iran is ‘threatening’ international security and should cease its activities?
The answers are obvious, although the Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman in Tehran and Iran’s ambassador in London have both slammed the UK Foreign Office and its meddlesome statement on Iran’s defensive capabilities.
In Tehran, Saeed Khatibzadeh wasted no time in pointing out that Britain’s unbridled days around the world are long past.
In London, Mohsen Baharvand in a post on Instagram page rightly remarked: “Some countries have objected to Iran’s military maneuver, which is conventional and defensive, and some have called it contrary to UN Security Council Resolution 2231. These countries should be reminded once again that Resolution 2231 speaks of missiles designed to ‘carry nuclear weapons.”
The real reason, however, for London’s worry is not the long shattered dream to re-entering Iran to place a puppet regime like the Pahlavi potentates, but the fast approaching end of the cancerous tumour it had planted in Palestine in 1948.
Britain very well knows the precarious survival of Israel in spite of the Anglo-American plots of the past seven decades to prolong the undesirable existence of the Zionist entity by sowing seeds of sedition amongst Muslim states, grooming a breed of macabrely murderous terrorists, propping up the repressive Aal-e Khalifa minority regime in Bahrain, and destabilizing Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq.
None of these gruesome plots have succeeded, while Iran’s power and prestige, along with its positive influence on the region’s elected governments and popular movements, including those in Palestine, have rapidly grown.
All this means that the Day of Destiny for the liberation of Palestine and the self-destruction of Israel is near, with both Britain and the US being helpless in averting the inevitable.
