The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has reiterated its assessment that hostilities with the United States have not concluded, according to a statement reported by Middle East Eye. Brigadier General Hossein Mohebbi, the IRGC’s official spokesperson, declared that Iran has "long been prepared for a prolonged war" and that the current strategic environment reflects that stance.
Mohebbi asserted that American forces have been compelled to shift troops and equipment away from forward regional installations to more distant locations. Despite this redeployment, he maintained that U.S. intelligence facilities continue to lie within the operational reach of Iranian capabilities, suggesting that the relocation does not eliminate perceived threats.
The IRGC official also contended that the technological edge traditionally attributed to the United States has not succeeded in neutralising Iran’s defensive and offensive measures. He emphasized that Iranian systems remain capable of countering advanced American platforms, although no specific systems or incidents were detailed.
In addition to these strategic observations, Mohebbi warned that a number of targets linked to U.S. interests in the region have yet to be addressed. The statement did not disclose the nature or location of these potential targets, nor did it indicate any imminent actions.
The remarks come amid ongoing diplomatic tensions and a broader pattern of rhetoric between Tehran and Washington. While the IRGC’s comments underscore a readiness for extended conflict, no concrete military movements or engagements were reported in conjunction with the statement. The situation remains fluid, and both sides have refrained from providing further clarification on operational plans.
