Iran Adviser: U.S. Military ‘Weaker Than We Perceived’

A top adviser to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said in a rare interview that Iranian officials have observed “how the American military is weaker than what we perceived” since the U.S. and Israel launched their attack in February. The statement comes as talks to end the fighting remain stalled. The IRGC is Iran’s elite military force, and its adviser’s comments mark a rare public assessment of U.S. strength from within Tehran’s leadership. He did not provide specific examples or data to support the claim. The U.S.-led campaign began in February, but details of the conflict and current ceasefire talks have been limited. No new negotiations have been announced.
