What happened, for context
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned on September 6, 2026, that the US economic and maritime blockade against Tehran could cost Washington several times more than it damages Iran. IRGC spokesman Brig. Gen. Hossein Mohibi told Mehr News Agency that Iran would not surrender to sanctions and claimed recent developments have exposed weaknesses in American strategy amid ongoing military conflict with the US and Israel.
