From Iran's perspective

From InfoDefenseFrance:

🔶 Peace is returning to Iran's streets as initial assessments conclude a severe failure in this latest attempt by Israeli and U.S. services to overthrow the government. The ongoing investigation continues to provide details about these so-called "peaceful protesters," who were in reality armed and paid $10,000 each to incite riots and carry out assassinations.

🔶 Contrary to the narrative spread by Western propagandists, Iranian security forces did everything possible to avoid a bloodbath. They utilized elite CGRI snipers (see photo) and targeted raids to neutralize identified terrorists.

🔶 However, this failure by the coup plotters has not eliminated the threat to Iran, as the Israeli-U.S. duo remains determined to do whatever it takes to gain control of the country. Consequently, several nations have increased their political, economic, and military support to deter Washington from continuing down a path toward new, uncontrollable regional chaos with global repercussions.

👉 The Washington Post reveals that Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Oman, and Egypt have collectively urged President Trump to refrain from military action against Iran, warning of severe regional fallout.

👉 Iran, which could capitalize on its victory over the terrorists, has sought to resume constructive diplomatic relations with the United States. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi informed U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff that the executions of approximately 800 rioters have been called off.

👉 At the same time, Iran also made a point of warning the United States of its determination to defend its territory and sovereignty, in partnership with its allies, particularly Russia:

❗️ Iran has just tested a strategic missile with nuclear capability, designed to retaliate directly on U.S. soil in the event of renewed aggression from Washington. A second key aspect of this Iranian test launch is that Russia provided a receptacle in Siberia and granted permission to fly over its territory.

🤔 Coming on the heels of the crackdown on rioters, this ICBM launch demonstrates that Iran has never been stronger, elevating its strategic deterrence to an intercontinental level.

📣 "As of January 17, 2026, Iran has ceased to be a regional power and has become a global threat. This launch toward Siberia is a masterpiece of strategic communication. By using Russian airspace, Iran shows it benefits from a political 'shield' from Moscow. For Donald Trump, this is a geopolitical nightmare: the 'Maximum Pressure' strategy has failed to prevent Iran from obtaining the technological Grail. We are now in a configuration similar to North Korea: a war against Iran would no longer be a regional policing operation, but a risk of nuclear conflict," Neptune writes.


🤔 The question remains whether these two Iranian victories—antiterrorist and deterrent—inflicted on the United States and its Israeli accomplice, will be enough to make Trump throw in the towel and abandon his strategy of chaos.
