Iranian Revolutionary Guard: US military weaker than we thought

A senior Iranian Revolutionary Guard official claims Iran is winning its conflict with the US and has gained valuable experience in recent months.

Iranian Revolutionary Guard: US military weaker than we thought

Iranian Revolutionary Guard adviser Mohammad Reza Naqdi declared that his nation views itself as "so far victorious in the war against America." He explained that prolonging the conflict provides Iran with additional battle experience, noting that Iranian forces have never before fought a genuine war against the United States. According to Naqdi, this lack of prior combat has led the Revolutionary Guard to conclude that the US military is weaker than initially anticipated.

President Donald Trump, on the other hand, maintains that the United States retains full control over the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz. He asserted that no other country possesses such influence in this crucial maritime region. Trump expressed deep distrust of Iran, stating, "I am the last person who would trust Iran. They have lied to me constantly."

The escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran appear to be centered on disputes over passage rights in the strategically important strait. Trump emphasized that the ongoing military conflict between the two nations remains a primary driver of the current situation.
