Lessons from the 12- and 40-day wars and the assassination of Imam Ali Khamenei: Analyst Mehdi Hartian: In the 12-day war, we received a surprising blow. In the 40-day war, unfortunately, we received the same blows from the exact same areas, but with greater precision. It shows that, unfortunately, we were not able to learn lessons during the 40-day war as we were able to during the 12-day war. To some extent this also concerns the issue of infiltration. Ultimately, the time must come when a decision is made and certain matters become clear. In particular, regarding the assassination of Imam Ali Khamenei, certain things must be specified so that we can understand exactly what happened. I don't want to blame anyone, but in the end, certain things don't add up and don't line up with each other, like how he was in that situation, what happened to so-and-so, and similar matters. Therefore, our point and our plea right now is that we should be careful and learn lessons from past events. Our commanders hold a meeting in one place, an event like the office meeting or our commanders' meeting held in the Security Council is simply not acceptable anymore. They are not acceptable in any way. This includes the gathering of commanders and their movements to and from such meetings. In any case, our protocols must be adhered to, and adhered to much more. Khamenei.
