The spokesperson for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) stated on [date unspecified] that the United States is facing a shortage of strategic weapons. The comments were part of broader remarks about Iran's military capabilities and deterrence strategy.
According to the IRGC official, this shortage reflects limitations in Washington's ability to maintain and develop its arsenal. However, he did not provide specific details about the types of weapons or data to support the claim.
The statement comes amid continued strained relations between Iran and the United States, particularly over Iran's nuclear program and regional military activities. U.S. officials have repeatedly affirmed their country's defense capabilities while imposing sanctions against Iran.
Analysts suggest that such IRGC statements are often aimed at bolstering domestic perceptions of strength and conveying deterrence messages to adversaries. There has been no official U.S. response to the claim so far.
