Iran Revolutionary Guards: Low Possibility of War with US, Ready for Retaliation

Photo · risingnepaldaily.com

Iran's Revolutionary Guards stated on Wednesday that the possibility of war with the United States is low, but they remain prepared for any attack. This comes after Iran accused the US of violating the ceasefire and warned of retaliation for recent strikes. The ongoing conflict, which began in late February, has spread across the region and impacted global energy markets.

  • Mohammad Akbarzadeh, deputy political chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, asserted that the enemy's weakness makes war unlikely, but warned aggressors would be turned into a graveyard.
  • Iran and the US are engaged in negotiations mediated by Pakistan to end the war, with key sticking points including the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's nuclear program.
  • Iran had blockaded the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for the war, prompting a US counterblockade of Iranian ports.
  • Iranian state media reported blasts in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas, near the Strait of Hormuz, and the Revolutionary Guards claimed to have downed a US drone.
