The spokesman for the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says the United States deployed its most advanced military technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), in the war against Iran, but ultimately failed to overcome the country’s institutional resilience, ideological cohesion, unity and national resolve, according to Press TV.

Brigadier General Hossein Mohebi said that artificial intelligence was the coordinating element of a major part of a network of technologies used by the US to identify targets, assess damage and track human resources.

The IRGC spokesman said the US brought its latest military capabilities into the battlefield but “failed in these areas”.

“AI analysed targets based on data received from various sources, but it could not monitor the institutional and ideological power of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Mohebi said.

He also highlighted Iran’s technological capabilities, saying the country had used its missile and drone capabilities to disrupt parts of the enemy’s network of power.
