The spokesman for Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says US aggression against the country exposed Washington’s strategic vulnerabilities, state-run Press TV reports.

Brigadier General Hossein Mohebbi said that Iran had changed a long-standing US approach in which Washington sought through its military campaigns to shift the costs of war beyond its own borders by involving other countries.

“However, the Ramadan War saw those costs return to the United States itself,” Mohebbi stated.

“This power was the result of the capabilities of the armed forces as they were able to return the costs of the war to the opposing side,” he added.

Mohebbi also noted that Iran’s military operations demonstrated its ability to affect global supply chains, particularly in the energy sector, with consequences extending beyond the region.
