On Thursday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a statement asserting that its forces have established a robust defensive front. According to the report, the organization maintains full readiness to counter potential threats across all domains, including land, maritime, and aerial operations.

Major-General Mostafa Izadi, the deputy commander-in-chief of the IRGC, provided comments regarding the current geopolitical climate. As reported by Iran’s Fars News Agency, Izadi claimed that the United States is currently in a "shaky" position. He further alleged that the U.S. frequently issues new claims to mask this perceived instability. Additionally, Izadi asserted that American forces had previously "fled in haste" from unspecified locations, though the report provided by Middle East Eye does not detail the specific regions to which he was referring.

This statement reflects the ongoing rhetorical tension between Iranian military leadership and the United States. While the IRGC emphasizes its own defensive capabilities and the vulnerability of its adversary, there has been no corresponding statement from U.S. officials addressing these specific claims of instability or the IRGC's defensive preparations. The report relies primarily on Iranian state-affiliated sources to characterize both the readiness of the IRGC and the status of U.S. forces.
