How Iran Gained the Upper Hand in War Despite Major Losses

For the last 12 days, a bloody conflict was going on between Iran and Israel. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump surprised everyone by approving an attack on Iran's nuclear bases on Saturday night. It seemed that now America has also jumped directly into this war. But just 48 hours later, on Monday, Trump made another shocking announcement that Iran and Israel have agreed on a complete ceasefire.

However, the governments of both the countries did not immediately accept it publicly, and missiles kept flying till then. Later, Israel announced an agreement on a ceasefire. Shortly after that, Iran's Supreme National Security Council issued a statement saying that they forced the enemy to repent. The question is, how did Iran turn the tables despite so many losses, 10 scientists and about 20 military officers?

Iran Refused to Back Down

Iran never accepted defeat directly. It responded to every attack and remained firm on the front till the last moment. Its strategy was to not retreat until the enemy got tired. Iran presented itself on international forums as a country on which this war was imposed. It repeatedly said that Israel and America were provoking it. This earned it the sympathy and moral support of Muslim countries.

Iran Secretly Relocated Uranium

When America attacked Iran's nuclear bases, Iran had already shifted its 400 kg of enriched uranium to a safe place. This did not affect its nuclear preparations much. Iran put Israel under mental pressure by attacking its civilian areas. This was a direct message: now the war will not remain only on the borders. Along with this, it compared itself to Gaza and presented itself as a leader in the Muslim world.

Iran Crippled Mossad Network

Iran weakened the network of Israeli intelligence agency Mossad by attacking it. Some sleeper agents were caught, and some were eliminated. This caused a strategic loss to Israel. Israel and America were trying to bring about a regime change in Iran, but the Iranian government did not succumb to this pressure. On the contrary, it strengthened its internal unity. Iran may have lost some of its important people, but strategically it has made a big lead in this war. It has been proved that wars are won not only with weapons but also with thinking, tactics and patience.
