Speaker of the Iranian Parliament: U.S.-A. failed to achieve any of its stated goals and Iran won the war

On 17 August, the Iranian Speaker of Parliament, Kalibaf, stated: “In this war, we have indeed achieved real victory on both military and political fronts. That doesn't mean we destroyed the American army. The United States and Israel have attacked us with nine clear and declared targets, but they have failed at any level to achieve any of those nine goals. This is the most complete and absolute failure of the United States and Israel. The same is true in the diplomatic sphere.”
