TEHRAN: Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has vowed to use new military capabilities if the war with the United States and Israel continues, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.
“We have not used our capabilities yet, and if the war continues, we will show capabilities that the enemy does not know yet,” IRGC spokesman Hossein Mohebbi said.
Meanwhile, Iranian Defense Ministry spokesman Reza Talaeinik said the capabilities of the Iranian armed forces are increasing, with missiles, drones, weapons, ammunition and other military equipment sufficient to continue offensive and defensive operations in the future.
Also on Monday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei wrote on the social media platform X that the US attempt to impose a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz was a “retaliation of choice” against the global economy.
Delegations from Iran and the US held additional talks in Islamabad on Saturday and early Sunday to ease tensions in the Middle East, but the talks failed.
The talks, which failed to reach an agreement, came after a ceasefire was announced on Wednesday between Iran, the US and Israel after 40 days of fighting.
