  • Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is enhancing its military capabilities, producing more missiles and drones to counter potential U.S. conflict.
  • The IRGC claims advanced technology has drastically reduced decision-making and targeting times in military operations.
  • Iran warns that global energy, power, and internet infrastructure could be targeted if the country is threatened.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is actively bolstering its military strength, prioritizing the production of missiles and drones to prepare for potential conflict with the United States. This strategic buildup aims to ensure Iran possesses superior firepower compared to its existing stockpiles.

IRGC spokesperson Mohebbi Hussein highlighted the integration of advanced technologies, including satellite data, drones, radar, sensors, and field intelligence reports, to expedite operational decision-making. He asserted that these technologies have compressed the timeline for identifying targets and launching attacks from minutes to mere seconds.

"In recent wars, America entered the battlefield against Iran's armed forces with all its capabilities and technology, but was ultimately defeated," Hussein stated, emphasizing Iran's perceived technological advantage. He also claimed that some of Iran's missiles possess the capability to alter trajectory mid-flight, enabling them to evade enemy air defense systems and engage secondary targets.

In a separate development, the U.S. military reported firing on an oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman that was attempting to break a blockade of an Iranian port. The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) identified the vessel as M/T Belma and stated it did not proceed to Iran. This marks the first instance of the U.S. forcibly stopping a ship since sanctions on Iranian ports were reinstated.

Furthermore, another IRGC spokesperson, Hossein Mohebbi, issued a stern warning: if Iran faces further threats, it possesses the capability to target global energy, power plants, and internet infrastructure worldwide. This statement underscores Iran's readiness to retaliate against perceived aggression.
