In related developments, a political deputy of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy stated that the United States attempts to engage with Iran through threats and pressure, but the Iranian people will not accept "threatening language." He noted that in the so-called "post-war period," Iran has demonstrated a new national image to the world, proving that "the enemy is not as strong as its propaganda suggests."
The official also claimed that the United States has suffered a "strategic failure" on the issue of "reopening the Strait of Hormuz." He stated that while the U.S. claimed it could restore navigation through the strait, it "failed to achieve its goal" after the strait was blocked.
Furthermore, the official indicated that Iran's armed forces are prepared and issued a warning that "from Chabahar to Mahshahr will become a graveyard for aggressors," adding that "severe retaliation" would be carried out against "hostile forces."
