IRGC says war with US not over, Iran ready for prolonged conflict
–
Neutral summary
The spokesman for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Brigadier General Hossein Mohebbi, said the war with the United States is not over and Iran has prepared for a prolonged conflict. "The war continues, and the IRGC has prepared for a prolonged war," he said, according to the Mehr news agency. "It was ready before, and now it is even better prepared for a prolonged war." Mohebbi warned that if the US launches a new attack, Iran will change the "weaponry and geography of the war" and strike targets linked to US interests that have not yet been hit. He also claimed US forces had been forced to relocate troops and equipment from regional bases to more distant positions, but US intelligence centres remained within Iran's reach. According to Mohebbi, US technological superiority had failed to overcome Iran's defensive and offensive capabilities. He added that the US had suffered a "historic and humiliating defeat" but lacked the courage to acknowledge it. The statements came amid concerns in the Middle East over possible new US strikes on Iran after nearly seven months of armed confrontation. US President Donald Trump said in a Fox News interview on Sunday that he was considering options including "wiping Iran out, letting them rot economically or making a deal." Mohebbi also said Iran is fully prepared for war but can pursue negotiations if national interests require, describing talks as "another battlefield."
