Yadollah Javani, a senior official in Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has declared that Iran's enemies, particularly the United States and Israel, have underestimated the nation's strength. He emphasized that despite facing numerous challenges, Iran has emerged more resilient. Javani noted that military operations initiated by the U.S. and Israel on February 28 resulted in the deaths of several Iranian leaders, prompting Iran to respond with daily missile and drone strikes against U.S. military assets and Israeli-occupied territories. He claimed that the adversaries aimed to dismantle Iran's nuclear capabilities and overthrow the Islamic Republic but have failed in their objectives, altering the geopolitical landscape in Iran's favor. Javani asserted that Iran has regained a pivotal role in the Strait of Hormuz, which he described as the legal right of the Iranian people. He stated that the future direction now rests with the United States, which must choose between accepting Iran's terms or continuing conflict. He warned that any further miscalculations by adversaries would provoke a stronger response from Iran.
