The White House says that the US military is prepared to thwart any attacks by Iran, responding to threats by Tehran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) against US companies in the region, Reuters reports.

“The United States military is and was prepared to curtail any attacks by Iran, as evidenced by the 90 per cent drop in ballistic missile and drone attacks by the terrorist regime,” a White House official has said, not wishing to be named.
