BBC military analyst Hossein Aryan, in a video circulated by an IRGC-linked channel, has declared that Iran holds a superior position in its conflict with the United States and Israel. He asserted that President Donald Trump must agree to Iran's conditions for the strategic Strait of Hormuz to be reopened, claiming the IRGC possesses the capability to strike the U.S. Navy. The analyst further argued that Trump has fallen into a trap set by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and is now seeking a way to exit the escalating situation. The remarks, promoted by the IRGC Cyber Corps, represent a public projection of strength and a set of demands amid ongoing regional tensions.
