Enumerating the characteristics of the "Shining Sun" operation, Mr.Atai'i pointed out that Massoud Rijavi's direct command of the operation must be considered most significant. Commander Ata'i added: "Deppenetration and in extended front is well is heavy shelling by the NLA's artillery and gunner battalions are some of the characteristics of this recent operation. I can confidently say that the 77th, considered one of Khomeini's most capable and skilled divisions and known as an unbeatable division, will not be able to recuperate for a long time."
The
NLA's Chief of Stiff evaluated the operation as a complete success and said
that all of the designated objectives had been fully achieved. He added
that, `The operation was launched in southern Iran, in Khuzistin, which
is of grave strategic importance to Khomeini. From the start of the war,
the Khomeini regime has tried its best not to suffer any setback in this
region, and put special emphasis on it. After the NLA attack on Kushk four
months ago on the 92nd armored division of Ahwaz, the regime improved the
alertness and readiness of its forces in this region.
As for the participation of women, he said: "The first incidence of women's combat brigades in frontline fighting was a very successful and valuable experience. In this offensive, the 650th and 600th brigades were comprised only of women. Alongside other brigades, they penetmted several kilometers into enemy-controlled territory and attacked enemy positions."
