Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, through aerospace commander Majid Mousavi, announced on Friday their intention to persist with targeted strikes until stability is restored in the south of the country. This statement comes as part of ongoing hostilities in the 2026 Iran–US conflict, marked by recent Iranian strikes on US military bases across the Middle East. The confrontation follows retaliatory US airstrikes on southern Iran and the strategic closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces. The decision to sustain military operations suggests a continued hardline approach by Tehran amid escalating tensions and the absence of a ceasefire agreement.
Key Takeaways
The IRGC’s commitment to ongoing strikes appears consistent with a hardline war strategy, reflecting no immediate intent to de-escalate.
Market activity indicates a slight decrease in the perceived likelihood of the Iranian regime falling by the end of 2026, as reflected by recent pricing.
The IRGC’s actions may suggest further instability, yet market confidence in regime change remains relatively low.
