The Islamic Republic’s response to Donald Trump’s recent statements was not long in coming and came with a defiant tone.
On Tuesday, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard called the U.S. president a “liar” and assured that, far from being neutralized, its missiles are now more lethal and have the capacity to expand the conflict to the entire region.
Iran responds to Trump and denies ‘end of war’

Just hours after Trump claimed in Florida that Iran had run out of navy, communications and air force, the elite military corps issued a statement through the Fars Agency.
In the text, they claim that the U.S. president seeks to “escape pressure” and hide the desperation of his troops by proclaiming an end to hostilities which, according to them, does not exist.
“It is we who will determine the end of the war,” the military group sentenced, stressing that security will be “for everyone or for no one.”
High-impact missiles and the pulse for Hormuz

The most troubling part of the release is the technical disclosure of its arsenal.
The Revolutionary Guard claimed that its current missiles have warheads of more than one ton and a larger volume than they had at the beginning of Operation Epic Fury.
Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world’s crude oil flows, Iran denied that traffic flows normally under US control.
According to Tehran, U.S. warships are kept more than 1,000 kilometers from the area for fear of their drones and long-range missiles.
The economic warning was blunt: if the aggressions against Iranian infrastructure persist, Iran will block the export of oil from the entire region to hostile countries and their allies.
With merchant traffic virtually paralyzed at Hormuz, the world is nervously watching an escalation that could send energy prices to historic levels.
