TEHRAN— Brigadier General Hossein Mohebbi, spokesman for Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), says the United States has suffered a series of strategic defeats in its war with Iran, including setbacks to its claims of safeguarding regional security and ensuring the uninterrupted flow of energy.
Iran's missile and drone capabilities have increased by at least 50% since the start of the war, and the country has weapons it has yet to deploy, IRGC spokesman Brigadier General Hossein Mohebbi told the Tehran Times in an exclusive interview. Warning that any renewed US military action would trigger a more severe Iranian response and deepen regional and global energy challenges, Mohebbi said Washington had failed to achieve its objectives through military pressure.
TEHRAN – More than seven months have passed since the United States, together with Israel, launched its war against Iran. What was meant to be a swift campaign to topple the Islamic Republic has instead left American bases across the region in ruins, the Strait of Hormuz still closed, and Washington without an answer to the energy crisis it helped create. With the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding in tatters and American midterm elections approaching, the question now is whether the US will risk another escalation — or accept defeat.
TEHRAN — Iran is seeking to accelerate the modernization of its armed forces, expand domestic weapons production and strengthen its defense-industrial infrastructure, according to plans presented by defense minister nominee Mehrdad Akhlaqi, as senior military officials stress the importance of deterrence and preparedness amid continued tensions with the United States and Israel.
TEHRAN - On Sept. 29, 2026, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) published a 25-26 page open letter addressed to “the honorable people of the United States of America — the scholars, the students, and the members of the media.”
