Abbas Goudarzi, Member of the Islamic Consultative Assembly of the Islamic Republic of Iran, states that under the new security landscape, the Strait of Hormuz has become a "strategic advantage" for the Islamic Republic and will never return to its former status. He stated, "The management of this waterway is in the hands of the Islamic Republic's armed forces, and no country shall have the right to pass through it without obtaining permission." Goudarzi also emphasized the necessity of what he termed "standing firm to consolidate Iran's position in the new world order," claiming that "far from being weakened by the current war, the armed forces have become more experienced on the battlefield and have identified new capabilities." #IranRevolution #No2IslamicRepublic #FreeIran2026

Drip-feed release of IRGC casualty identities; delays in reporting losses following U.S. and Israeli strikes Reports indicate that the names of fallen members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) are being released with significant delays and in a restricted manner—a trend that has intensified following strikes by the United States and the Israeli military. According to these reports, the official announcement of casualties is being conducted gradually and at intervals by the iranian regime, leading to increased ambiguity regarding the true death toll. Observers believe this information strategy may be aimed at managing public opinion and controlling the domestic atmosphere, as precise details and full casualty statistics remain undisclosed. #IranRevolution #No2IslamicRepublic #FreeIran2026
