Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Tuesday that it is fully prepared to respond to all possible scenarios, with all military positions maintained at the highest level of alert, according to Iran's semi-official Fars news agency.

IRGC spokesman Sardar Mohebbi dismissed the United States' claims that Iran's military capabilities have been weakened, calling them false.

He said Iran's armed forces are now at a higher state of combat readiness than ever before, and have a clearer understanding of the enemy's offensive and defensive equipment, deception methods, and operational tactics.

On the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, Mohebbi noted that despite deploying substantial forces, the United States failed to achieve its desired outcome.

He also affirmed that Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz has never been weakened.
