The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has warned American forces, accusing them of using civilian locations as shields due to fear of Islamic fighters’ firepower.
According to Clash Reports, the IRGC accused the United States (US) of recklessly engaging in the killing of Iranian civilians and carrying out targeted assassinations.
It described US and Israeli forces as “cowardly” and lacking the ability to defend their own bases.
“The cowardly American and Zionist forces, who lack the courage and ability to defend their own military bases, are attempting, out of fear of the firepower of Islamic fighters, to use civilian locations and innocent people as human shields,” read part of the Clash Reports.

This comes amid claims that Iran has mobilised more than one million fighters as its new hardline government considers building a nuclear weapon.
The State media reported that officials are weighing up a public push for a nuclear bomb, ending years of denial.
According to the Daily Mail (March 26), Iran is also reportedly evaluating withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

New Iran Bombing Deadline Set After Trump Warned of Consequences for Americans
Earlier, US President Donald Trump announced another pause on planned strikes targeting Iran’s energy infrastructure after days of escalating threats and growing concern within Washington over the potential human cost of a wider war.
In a statement on March 26, Trump announced a 10-day pause on the planned strikes, which he said was issued at Iran’s request.
The announcement effectively delays what had been shaping up to be one of the most aggressive phases of the U.S. military campaign against Iran, even as officials warn that the broader conflict remains highly volatile.
The decision comes just days after President Trump issued an ultimatum to Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours or face devastating strikes on its power grid.
At the time, he said the United States would “obliterate” Iran’s energy plants, beginning with its largest facilities, an escalation that military planners warned could trigger a far wider conflict.
