“We Will Decide the End of the War”: Iran’s Islamic Guard Responds to Donald Trump’s Warning
IRGC warns oil exports from the region could stop if US and Israel continue attacks on Iran
The conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran has intensified over the past few days. Amid the escalating tensions, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Tuesday strongly responded to a warning issued by US President Donald Trump, stating that Iran itself will decide how the war ends.
According to reports from Iranian state media, an IRGC spokesperson dismissed Trump’s remarks as meaningless and warned that if attacks by the United States and Israel continue, Iran will ensure that not even a single liter of oil is exported from the region. The spokesperson also stated that regional security must either exist for everyone or for no one.

Iran further warned that if tensions escalate further, it could directly affect oil transportation from Gulf countries, potentially disrupting global energy supply.
Earlier, Donald Trump had warned that if Iran attempted to block oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, the United States would respond with force “20 times stronger than before.” In a social media post, Trump said the US could target easily destructible locations in Iran, which could make it nearly impossible for Iran to function as a country. However, he also expressed hope that such a situation would not arise.
On Monday, Trump also spoke about ongoing US military operations in Iran. He stated that the mission had progressed far ahead of the originally planned timeline and could be considered highly successful. According to him, US forces have begun targeting Iran’s drone production facilities, resulting in an 83 percent reduction in drone launches from Iran.
The Iranian response came after the United States and Israel reportedly targeted Iran’s fuel infrastructure. Iranian officials said oil depots in Tehran and the neighboring Alborz province were attacked on Saturday evening, leading to massive fires and thick smoke across the Iranian capital on Sunday.
Iranian authorities also indicated that the country is preparing for a prolonged conflict. An IRGC spokesperson said Iran has stockpiled ballistic and cruise missiles, drones, and warships, and is capable of sustaining an intense military confrontation for at least six months. Iran is also planning to deploy more advanced long-range missiles as part of its upcoming military strategy.
According to the Iranian Red Crescent Society, the attacks by the United States and Israel have resulted in the deaths of 1,332 people in Iran, while 9,669 civilian buildings have been damaged, including thousands of homes and commercial properties.
