In Tehran, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) conducted military exercises aimed at preparing for potential confrontations, as tensions escalate in the Middle East. This action follows U.S. President Donald Trump's warning that a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict could be on the verge of collapse. Brigadier General Hassan Hassanzadeh, commander of the Tehran Revolutionary Guards, stated that the drills were designed to enhance combat capabilities against what they perceive as threats from the 'American-Zionist enemy.' The ongoing war, which began over two months ago with U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran, has severely impacted the global economy, affecting millions worldwide. In response to the conflict, Iran has restricted access to the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial maritime route for oil, gas, and fertilizer, to exert economic pressure on the U.S. and its allies. Concurrently, the U.S. Navy has been blockading Iranian ports, disrupting shipping activities.
