The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has stated that the Iranian side is increasing its military capabilities, as well as producing and testing new weapons that can be deployed if necessary.
According to IRGC spokesperson Hossein Mohebbi, the goal is to defend itself and repel enemy aggression.
The White House also addressed developments around the Strait of Hormuz. The US vice president accused Iran of obstructing international shipping.
According to J.D. Vance, this has led to an increase in energy prices. At the same time, the official noted that significant volumes of oil and gas pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
“We are doing everything possible to reduce prices,” Vance added.
