'We have learned how to fight America': What IRGC's Mohammad Reza Naqdi said about Iran's long-term war strategy
IRGC General Mohammad Reza Naqdi said Iran has learned how to fight the US during five months of war and could prolong the conflict until 2029 to build deterrence. He also claimed Iran can sustain missile production for years.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has signaled its preparedness for a prolonged conflict with the United States, according to a senior commander's recent interview with PBS. Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi stated that Iran's objective is not merely to survive the conflict but to build enough deterrence to prevent future attacks, potentially extending the war until the end of President Donald Trump's term in January 2029.
Naqdi emphasized that gaining experience in fighting the US during the five months of conflict has been crucial, and prolonging the war could help Iran impose costs on its adversaries and strengthen its deterrence.
