This! This! Less than two hours after the war began, Israel announced that the Iranian army chief of staff, Amir Hataemi, was killed! It seems that Iran has still not learned its lesson! The last time Israel launched a sudden attack on Iran, the Iranian military leadership suffered a complete paralysis at the highest level. The Iranian Armed Forces Chief of Staff, Major General Mohammad Bagheri, and the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hossein Sarami, were killed.

The commander of the Revolutionary Guards' Headquarters Hamt-e Amebiya, Rasheed, the commander of the Revolutionary Guards' Aerospace Force, Hajizadeh, Mohammad Kazemi, head of the Revolutionary Guards' intelligence organization, Hassan Mohajerik, deputy head of the Revolutionary Guards' intelligence organization, and Ismail Kani, commander of the Quds Force, were also killed. At that time, Iran held state funerals for 60 senior officers. Iran suffered heavy losses.

After suffering such significant losses in the command structure, one would expect Iran to have learned its lesson thoroughly. However, unexpectedly, once again, high-ranking commanders were killed just as the war began. The way Israel struck Iran this time is almost identical to the previous one. This top commander, who was urgently promoted last June, had not yet had the chance to reorganize the army, and became the first decapitation target of the US-Israel joint strike.

As an observer, it's really hard to understand why Iran is so determined to negotiate with the United States now. But what happened? The so-called negotiations by the United States are not aimed at achieving real peace but seem more like a trap to lure Iran into, then bleed it out. The scars hadn't even healed, and Iran had already forgotten the pain. In a life-or-death moment, Iran can only take a desperate gamble. Otherwise, the bullying from the United States and Israel will never end.
