Published April 30, 2026 Updated April 30, 2026 08:30am

The IRGC has said that Tehran has emerged at the centre of “anti-disruption” efforts instigated by the US, state-run Press TV reports.

“The Trump administration shifted from a strategy of ‘managing global energy’ to one of ‘disruption,’” Press TV quoted the IRGC as saying.

“But after 20 days, the White House is increasingly convinced the project has failed.”

It added that Tehran has emerged as “the centre of an ‘anti-disruption coalition’”.
