Iran is preparing to strike back at the US in the Middle East, according to a post on the Telegram channel of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

“Iran is preparing to strike back at the United States in the Middle East,” the message says.

Earlier, Mehdi Mohammadi, strategic adviser to the speaker of Iran’s parliament, stated that Iran had evacuated the Fordow nuclear facility before the US attack, so it did not suffer irreparable damage. According to him, “knowledge cannot be bombed.” Hassan Abedini, deputy political director of Iran’s state television, said that “the Americans miscalculated,” as Iran had previously evacuated all materials from the three nuclear sites targeted by the US strikes.
