While US President Donald Trump predicts an early end to the conflict, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have strongly rejected these claims, saying that the fate of the war will be decided solely by their armed forces.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards announced on Tuesday that they will decide on the end of the war in the Middle East themselves. They responded to the words of US President Donald Trump, who claimed that the conflict would end soon. TASR informs about it according to the report of the AFP agency.
- The Iranian Revolutionary Guards claim that the end of the war in the Middle East is in their hands.
- Donald Trump declared that the Iran war will end soon.
- Iran announces a blockade of oil exports to the aggressor and their regional partners.

Iranian Revolutionary Guards: It’s in our hands
“It is up to us to decide the end of this war,” the Guards said in a statement. “The balance and future order of the region is now in the hands of our armed forces, American forces will not end the war,” they emphasized in the statement.
The US president declared on Monday that “the Iran war will soon be over” without setting a specific date. According to him, the US and Israeli operations are achieving their goals. The spokesman for the Guards rejected these statements and described them as an attempt to cope with domestic and regional pressure.
Oil supplies
According to the spokesman, the armed forces of Iran will not allow the export of even a single liter of oil from the region to the aggressor and its partners until further notice. He emphasized that their efforts to influence the prices of oil and gas will only be temporary and futile, writes Al Jazeera. The spokesman also noted that the country’s defense infrastructure is operational despite ongoing hostile operations and the military is prepared for continued fighting.
Trump has threatened a wider attack on Iran if it blocks the supply of oil, whose prices have soared because of the war in the Middle East. “I will not allow a terrorist regime to hold the world hostage and try to stop global oil supplies. If Iran does anything to achieve that, they will be hit much, much harder,” he said, according to AFP.
