The Secretary of Iran's Security Council, Razai:

My question to Arab factors is this: If Iran had not resisted and Iran had been forced to surrender, would Israel not have attacked Saudi Arabia today? Didn't Israel advance all the way to Damascus? Wouldn't Israel have attacked Iraq?

We gave martyrs here, and we protect Arab countries. If we didn't rub America and Israel's noses in the dirt here in Iran, and if they felt victorious in Iran, there would be no one in the region who could stand up to them.

Israel would attack all the Arab countries, and America would support it. We resisted - yes, we defended our country - but our defense also benefited the Arab countries.
