The region is witnessing ongoing tensions over the security of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and the blockade imposed on Iranian oil exports.
The spokesman for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Brigadier General Hossein Mohebi, said on Sunday that setting new targets and designing operations in a new geography is on the agenda, in the event that Iran is exposed to new attacks by America and Israel, and this came after the message of Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei.
The spokesman added: “We have overcome stages of this war and achieved victories in these stages,” according to what was reported by the semi-official Iranian “Tasnim” news agency.
Hussein Mohebi claimed: “The enemy prevented us from achieving its goals. The enemy entered the field with the aim of overthrowing the Islamic Republic regime and dividing Iran, but it failed in this goal.”
Mohebi said, “Today the enemy is facing a problem in opening the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, and that the criterion for measuring the enemy’s victory and defeat is knowing the goals he was pursuing. The enemy was defeated in its goals in southern Iran, and today it turned to negotiation and mediation,” according to “Tasnim.”
The Revolutionary Guard spokesman went on to say: “America was claiming that it was ensuring freedom of navigation and the flow of energy, but despite having the largest naval force in the world and decades of presence in the Middle East, it was not even able to open the Strait of Hormuz for a few hours,” he claimed.
Hussein Mohebi added, “The American army’s doctrine was based on establishing bases in the region and promising the regional countries to achieve security, but these bases were destroyed by Iran and turned into an anti-security factor for the host countries, and America could not even protect its bases, so how does it want to secure the security of the countries of the region?”, according to what was reported by the “Tasnim” agency.
Mohebi stressed that the directives of Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei “opened a new door of war, and that the armed forces today are more prepared than ever before and ready to respond decisively to the enemy, and a wide field has been identified to harm the enemy and achieve complete deterrence, which means that from now on, no country will be able to take a political position against Iran, let alone covet the country’s lands,” as he described it.
On the other hand, US President Donald Trump and the US forces in the region insist that the Strait of Hormuz is open, and that Iran has not exported its crude oil during the recent period, in light of the naval blockade imposed on Iranian ports.

CNN verified a video clip claiming that the Houthis seized weapons in Marib, and it turned out that it dates back to a military operation in the Najran axis in 2019, which makes it a misleading description in the context of the current battles.

The coalition to support legitimacy in Yemen, led by Saudi Arabia, announced the implementation of a qualitative military operation to neutralize vital sources used by the Houthi group in its attacks against civilians and civilian objects in Saudi Arabia and Yemen, stressing the continuation of its measures to deter the militia’s behavior.

Deputy Chief of Staff of Saudi Arabia, Lieutenant General Fahd Al-Ghufaili, confirmed during the Manama Dialogue Forum that the safety of the straits and freedom of navigation are two pillars of stable international security, warning of Houthi threats to commercial ships.

Iranian Defense Minister Mehrdad Akhlaqi confirmed that his country is pursuing the implementation of the strategy of immediate and effective response to any threat without geographical restrictions, stressing that the timing of the response and its repercussions will not be determined by the threatening party, based on the directives of the senior leadership.

The US Central Command (Centcom) announced the redirection of 144 commercial ships to ensure their compliance with the naval blockade imposed on Iran until October 31, 2026, noting that the blockade prevented the export of Iranian oil worth $25 billion.

Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei issued orders to the armed forces to respond immediately to any threat without geographical restrictions, amid Iranian warnings of the expansion of the war and this coincided with diplomatic mediation efforts in Doha and Tehran.
