“If another aggression takes place, there will certainly be significant changes in our defense and our counterattack,” Second Brigadier General Hossein Mohebbi said on Monday, adding, “We will definitely change the geography of the war.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

He said Iran would introduce new weapons and military equipment with new capabilities, adding that “the world will be astounded” by them.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Mohebbi also identified several areas in which the United States has suffered strategic defeats in its unprovoked war on the Islamic Republic.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

“The United States has been defeated in this war, and its defeat is also a historic and humiliating defeat, but it does not have the courage to admit and accept this defeat,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Iran has also maintained a tight grip on the Strait of Hormuz since the early days of the second imposed war.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

In July, the US conducted waves of deadly air raids on Iran and imposed a naval blockade of the country in violation of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Islamic Republic, signed on June 17, to end the war.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

In response, the Iranian Armed Forces launched devastating strikes against strategic American targets across West Asia and declared the Strait of Hormuz closed to all traffic.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Mohebbi said Washington has failed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz despite possessing the world’s largest navy and having defined one of the main reasons for its regional and global presence as ensuring energy security and freedom of navigation.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

“One of the areas of the United States’ defeat is its failure to reopen the Strait of Hormuz,” he said, adding that Washington brought all its capabilities into play but “could not” reopen the waterway after Iran closed it off in response to the joint US-Israeli war of aggression.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

He said the United States also failed in achieving its declared objective of ensuring the security of energy flows and freedom of navigation, arguing that a country that claimed to be seeking security had instead become “a disruptor of security.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Mohebbi also pointed to US military bases across the region as another liability for Washington.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

“The defeat of the United States here was that all the investment it had made to provide security was turned into the opposite of security,” he said, pointing out that the bases came under devastating strikes by the Iranian Armed Forces.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n
