Major Loss for the United States! On July 13, foreign media reported that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced the destruction of a long-range airborne FPS radar and a ship detection radar in Oman—direct retaliation for the U.S. attack tonight on an agricultural water pump station in Mahshahr. Meanwhile, a U.S. ground-to-ground missile base in Kuwait, as well as U.S. military facilities and infrastructure in Bahrain's Jubail, were also attacked and suffered large-scale fires.
Meanwhile, the IRGC issued a statement saying the only way to ensure passage through the Strait of Hormuz for ships is to end U.S. interference. Continued U.S. interference will lead to even larger incidents across the global oil and gas sector. Clearly, judging from the scale of Iran’s response against the U.S., Iran has ample ammunition reserves—indicating it has significantly replenished its stockpiles during the ceasefire period.
Moreover, Iran is fighting a clear, deliberate war: targeting U.S. early-warning radars, air defense systems, fuel storage tanks, logistics factories, and drone command centers. This shows Iran’s intent is to cripple U.S. intelligence gathering, military strike capabilities, and logistical support. Evidently, in Iran’s view, the U.S. military presence poses the greatest threat. The IRGC’s statements further signal their continued effort to strangle vital global energy chokepoints. In short, with the U.S. midterm elections approaching, Iran’s message is clear: let’s see who can endure longer—the one who outlasts the other.
