이란, 종전 MOU 체결 뒤 ‘더 큰 전쟁’ 준비…수주 내 공격 가능성

Recent reports suggest that Iran has been preparing for a "bigger war" with the United States after signing a ceasefire MOU with the US. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has taken control, with regular forces being placed under its authority, and increased military activities, including missile and drone production. Iran anticipates attacking the US within the next few weeks if the US fails to fulfill its side of the agreement.

According to sources, Iran plans to open the Hormuz Strait, raise oil prices, and prepare for potential attacks. The IRGC has deployed military advisors to allied forces, such as Houthis in Yemen, Iraqi militias, and Hezbollah in Lebanon, to strategize for a full-scale conflict. Recently, Iran has been attacking non-compliant merchant ships in the Hormuz Strait, while Houthis have targeted Saudi Arabian vessels in the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait.

Iran's supreme leader has appointed the former IRGC commander of the Iraq conflict to head the Supreme National Security Council, further solidifying the position of the hardliners. In the event of a failed diplomatic resolution, Iran's military capabilities could be utilized to forcibly open the Hormuz Strait and attack Saudi Arabian assets, including oil tankers.
