JAKARTA - The chief advisor to the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Mohammad Reza Naqdi, stated that Iran is ready to face a prolonged conflict with the United States in order to ensure complete security conditions.
"We must achieve a deterrent effect so that the enemy does not dare to attack us, so that we can live safely. One way is to extend this war until the next presidential term and cause losses; so that if there is another party who wants to attack Iran, they will know there are consequences," Naqdi said in an interview with PBS as reported by ANTARA,
"The US armed forces turned out to be weaker than Iran expected," Naqdi added.
On June 18, Iran and the US signed a memorandum of understanding to end the conflict that began on February 28. However, on July 8, US President Donald Trump announced that the ceasefire was no longer in effect.
Then, on July 12, Iran announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz until the end of US intervention in the region after a wave of new retaliatory attacks.
The next day, Trump declared the US would be the "guardian" of the Strait of Hormuz. He also reimposed a US blockade on Iranian ports.
Trump also said his administration had reduced efforts to reach an agreement with Iran and was "de-escalating" the process in hopes that economic pressure would bear fruit.
