– You can't win a conflict just from the air. Although many – and we do so – can be achieved in this way, a land component is besides necessary. There are many ways to implement it, but I will not uncover it," he said.
Comment: fresh reports from Iran clearly indicate that the war, caused by the American-Jewish coalition, is getting out of hand. The question is: How much will they want to set the planet on fire to accomplish their goal?
