Iran’s IRGC has warned that any future attack on the country’s interests will be met with a more devastating response that could hasten the downfall of U.S. dominance. Spokesperson Ramazan Sharif condemned Trump’s recent remarks as a sign of American defeat. Deputy Commander Naqdi warned that any assault on religious leaders would result in deadly consequences for all U.S. personnel in the region. This comes after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear and military sites, which triggered deadly retaliatory attacks by Tehran.
