Iran’s IRGC prepares itself for long-term conflict with US

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) said in a statement on Monday that it has prepared itself for a long-term conflict with the United States and its allies.

The statement quoted IRGC spokesman Hossein Mohebbi as saying that if it comes under another “invasion”, Iran will introduce new weapons with new capabilities into the fray, in addition to expanding the scope of conflict. Mohebbi stressed that Iran’s policy is to maintain good-neighborly and friendly relations with countries in the region. Iran’s missile strikes target only U.S. military equipment and bases, and pose no threat to neighboring countries.
