Iranian Revolutionary Guards respond to US on nuclear program and Strait of Hormuz

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps strongly denied US claims regarding the nuclear program, directing harsh criticisms at Washington. While Tehran awaits an official response to the plan for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, regional security debates continue.

Rejection of Nuclear Program Claims

Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps spokesperson Hossein Mohebbi stated that the enemy knows very well that Iran is not pursuing nuclear weapons.

Mohebbi noted that the US's main issue is not the nuclear program, but rather that they are disturbed by the country's size and want to destroy this structure.

Strait of Hormuz and Oil Exports

The Iranian official criticized statements claiming the US has lost control over the Strait of Hormuz, arguing that the strait is not completely open.

Kpler data, however, showed a recovery signal in oil exports conducted through the waterway, approaching half of the pre-war volume.

Criticisms of US Bases in the Region

Mohebbi expressed that the American bases and military infrastructure stationed in the region have failed to provide security and instead create instability.

It was emphasized that Iran is determined to maintain its relations with neighboring countries despite all economic restrictions.

New Plan and Regional Security Threats

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi announced that they are awaiting an official response from Washington regarding the plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Meanwhile, chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said that unless the country's security is guaranteed, no infrastructure in West Asia will be safe.
