Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a series of defiant statements as the seven-month-old US-Israeli war on Iran remained unresolved. Spokesman Hossein Mohebbi said the US had suffered a 'historic and shameful defeat,' insisted the war was 'not over,' and claimed Iran was fully prepared for a prolonged conflict, adding that US intelligence centers in the region remained within reach despite relocations. Iran's military command separately said it had been informed the US was preparing to resume strikes, vowing that the Strait of Hormuz would stay closed and that Tehran would not negotiate until Washington ends the war, unfreezes Iranian funds, and lifts its naval blockade. The rhetoric underscores continued high tension despite months of fighting, with Iran demanding US and Israeli 'withdrawal' from the region and warning that any renewed attack would trigger significant retaliation. The statements come as diplomatic efforts to end the conflict remain stalled ahead of the UN General Assembly, where the standoff is expected to dominate discussions.
