Iran's Revolutionary Guards call Trump a 'big liar'

The Iranian Revolutionary Guards spokesperson, Hossein Mohebbi, denounced US President Donald Trump as a "big liar" on Tuesday. He accused Trump of misleading Americans about Iran's nuclear program and the effectiveness of Iran's blockade on energy supplies from the Gulf. Trump's war on Iran is rooted in the belief that Iran will never be able to develop a nuclear weapon, according to Mohebbi.

The Iranian leadership maintains that the United States' issue with Iran is not its nuclear program, but rather its vast territory that they wish to destroy. Mohebbi also challenged the US assertion that Iran has lost most of its leverage over the Strait of Hormuz. He argued that the US military's ability to protect some tankers bringing oil out of the Gulf does not imply that the Strait is open.

Recent Kpler data shows that oil exports via the Strait of Hormuz have recovered, reaching almost 10 million barrels per day, which is approximately half of the pre-war volume.
