Fighters from the coalition of Islamic Resistance in Iraq have carried out dozens of operations against US interests across West Asia in the past 24 hours.

After 33 days, US war objectives – 'regime change', nuclear rollback, and control of the Strait of Hormuz – remain unmet, while Iranian retaliation has imposed heavy military and economic costs on the US.

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has warned the United States that Tehran will determine the nature of its response to any further acts of terror, dismissing as an “absolute lie” claims by Washington that it does not target civilian homes.

The commander of the Iranian Army’s Ground Force has called on the families of US military personnel deployed to West Asia to check on them, citing censorship of casualty figures by the United States Central Command (CENTCOM).

US power, shaped by geography and media narratives, enables global military reach and economic coercion, but Iran has leveraged its strategic geography and endurance to challenge US global hegemony through asymmetric warfare.

Iran’s judiciary chief says the “good end” of the recent war would be the expulsion of US forces from the region and the beginning of the end of the “vile” Israeli regime.

Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf says the US could have rapidly seized Iran’s oil resources if Tehran had not invested in military capabilities.
