Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has asserted that Iran’s armed forces are better prepared than ever and fully ready to respond to any future military threats, warning that any aggression would be met with new operational strategies.

Brigadier General Hossein Mohebbi, the IRGC spokesman, credited both existing capabilities and experience gained from recent confrontations with adversaries for the enhanced preparedness, Fars News Agency reported on Tuesday.

“If the enemy returns to the battlefield, the nature of the operations, the geography of engagements, and even the weapons employed will be different,” Mohebbi said.

“The IRGC is fully prepared for all possible scenarios.”

Military strength bolstered during ceasefire

The official highlighted that Iran has used the ceasefire period to further strengthen its military readiness and repair any damage.

“During the ceasefire, our operational capabilities have increased,” he said, referring to the period after President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire on April 7 following retaliatory strikes against US and Israeli actions.

Enhanced understanding of adversary

Mohebbi noted that the recent confrontations provided Iranian forces with a more detailed understanding of their adversaries, moving beyond intelligence assessments and media reports to include direct battlefield experience.

“Today, our knowledge of the enemy’s equipment, air defences, operational bases, and tactics is much clearer,” he said.

He rejected claims that Iran’s military power had weakened, insisting that the country’s combat and naval capabilities remain intact.

Control over Hormuz a symbol of strength

The IRGC spokesman also highlighted Iran’s sustained control over the strategic Strait of Hormuz during the recent hostilities, despite extensive US military operations.

“Our sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz remains fully intact,” Mohebbi said, describing the waterway as a symbol of the IRGC’s strength.
