IRGC spokesman Hossein Mohbi claimed Monday that Iran exploited the ceasefire to increase its missile production rate and accuracy, and that the Revolutionary Guards are gradually expanding their operational area to include 'strategic nodes.' He said Operation 'Nasr 2' struck the al-Tanf base in Syria, which he described as the 'strategic depth of the US,' and warned that the arena could be expanded further if the operation continues.
IRGC spokesman Hossein Mohbi's statement on Monday provides a public account of Iran's military posture during the ceasefire that followed the June 2026 direct exchanges between Israel and Iran. Mohbi claimed that Tehran used the period to increase missile production rates and improve accuracy, and that the IRGC is expanding its operational area to include "strategic nodes." He specifically cited Operation "Nasr 2" as having struck the al-Tanf base in Syria—a facility long associated with US and coalition forces—which he called the "strategic depth of the US." The warning that the arena could be further expanded suggests the IRGC is considering opening new fronts. As The Zioneer reported on July 6, the Iranian army spokesman similarly claimed that Tehran had used the ceasefire to update its target bank and improve operational capabilities. The statement reinforces the assessment that Iran is not demobilizing but rather preparing for a broader conflict, with the IRGC signaling readiness to strike beyond its borders.
