Larijani says US-Israeli plot was behind recent 12-day war against Iran

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Nov 26, 2025

Islamabad, IRNA -- Ali Larijani, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, says the recent 12-day imposed war against Iran was the result of a "US-Israeli conspiracy" planned years in advance.

Larijani made the remarks during a gathering at the Iranian Embassy in Islamabad with a group of leading Pakistani think-tank chiefs and scholars of regional and international peace and security.

Conveying the greetings of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution to the people of Pakistan, Larijani said that the Pakistani nation, by supporting Iran "with a sense of responsibility" during the Israeli regime's "unjust war" against Iran, showed that it possessed "a solid and sound way of thinking."

He also thanked Pakistan's government, parliament and armed forces for their support.

Highlighting deep cultural ties as the foundation of Iran-Pakistan relations, he said, "The basis of our cooperation with Pakistan in the past and present is cultural affinity, and in the political sphere we also share intellectual unity."

"We consider Pakistan a friendly, supportive, neighboring and culturally akin country, and the Persian language is one of the factors bringing the two nations closer together."

He said Pakistan's "justice-seeking position" during the eight-year imposed war had greatly assisted Iran, adding that the recent 12-day war also brought "various lessons."

"It was the will of the Iranian nation that revealed itself in this war," he said. "The Israeli regime, which thought it could defeat Iran, became completely disappointed."

Calling the war the result of a long-planned "US-Israeli conspiracy," Larijani added that US President Donald Trump recently said "they had been practicing since 2003 to attack Iran's nuclear facilities with their aircraft."

He said Iran's powerful missiles "overran Israel's hollow security," while noting that some shortcomings existed that Iran is working to resolve.

The war, he went on, demonstrated Iran's resolve while exposing internal disorder within the Israeli regime.
