IRGC says Iran, not US, will determine the war’s end
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has responded to Trump’s comments on the timeline for the war, saying that it is Tehran – not Washington – that will dictate its end.
IRGC spokesperson Brigadier General Ali Mohammad Naeini described Trump’s comments as “nothing but lies” and said that the US president was trying to “fabricate military achievements” after humiliating defeats.
“We are the ones who will determine the end of this war,” Naeini declared, according to the Tasnim news agency.
“We know that your ammunition is about to run out and that you are looking for an honorable way out of the war. Why don’t you tell the truth to the American people? Trump doesn’t want Americans to know that all US military infrastructure in the Persian Gulf region has been destroyed,” he said.
Naeni also denied Trump’s claim that US and Israeli attacks have degraded Iran’s missile capabilities, saying more projectiles are being fired “than the early days of the war, in larger numbers, and with warheads weighing more than one tonne”.
He added that Iran’s armed forces will not permit the export of a single litre of oil from the region to the aggressors and their partners until further notice, saying their attempts to control oil and gas prices will be “temporary and futile”.
