Overall:   Really sorry, but it looks like this article needs quite a lot more work before it can be shown on the main page. There are numerous issues outlined on the page. I can see there's a lot of unnecessary detail in the page which should be trimmed and cut, and the background section should be expanded, like why they're conducting these operations, countries it operates in most frequently; basically, just make it so that some guy who knows absolutely nothing about Iran would be able to follow along and read the article and comprehend it. There's a lot of errors in the citations. There is also some close paraphrasing which I think can be avoided. jolielover♥talk 18:26, 15 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
