In a statement commemorating the anniversary of the failed US military operation in Tabas, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) declared that the United States' repeated defeats are a continuation of what it described as the "White House's failures" against Iran.

It emphasized that any new aggression will be met with a response exceeding the enemy's expectations, at the level of strategic deterrence.

The statement indicated the complete readiness of the armed forces, noting that the level of planning and preparedness even includes the establishment of prisoner-of-war camps in anticipation of any potential ground attack.

It also called on the United States to confront reality and not be swayed by the policies of the Israeli government, pointing out that its bases in the region have suffered severe blows and are no longer capable of being rehabilitated.

The statement stressed that control of the Strait of Hormuz will remain a fundamental part of Iranian strategy, while allowing the passage of commercial vessels, with the exception of ships belonging to the United States and its allies.
