IRGC warns US economic blockade will backfire, cost Washington more than Tehran

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) spokesman warned that any US economic blockade would inflict greater costs on Washington than Tehran, claiming Iran can impose several dollars of losses for every dollar of damage. This rhetoric signals Tehran's intent to retaliate asymmetrically, likely through regional proxies or energy chokepoints, though no concrete measures were announced. The statement escalates tensions amid ongoing US-Iran confrontation, but remains largely rhetorical at this stage.
