The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has warned of a significant shift in its defensive and counter-terror operations in the event of a new US attack, according to reports. The IRGC emphasized that it would alter the methods of conducting operations, including the selection of battlefields, targets, and weaponry. This statement comes amid heightened tensions between Iran, the US, and Israel.
Iran’s Foreign Minister discussed UN agenda items with UN Secretary-General António Guterres, highlighting concerns over the US and Israel’s influence in the region. The IRGC’s remarks suggest a growing readiness to escalate military responses if perceived threats increase. Meanwhile, the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route, saw a sharp decline in traffic before the US-Israel-Iran conflict began on February 28.
Reports indicate that the US and Gulf states face challenges in ending the war without cooperation from Israel, according to a Dutch analyst. The IRGC’s increasing influence in Iran has shifted the regional power dynamics, with some analysts noting a change in the strategic landscape.
The situation remains volatile, with the potential for further escalation as tensions continue to rise.
