IRGC prepares scenarios for US hostile actions against Iran: spokesman

Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) spokesperson Hossein Mohebbi said on Sunday that the country has prepared scenarios for every hostile action by the United States, Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency reported.

His remarks came in response to recent comments made by U.S. President Donald Trump.

In a Wednesday post on Truth Social, Trump announced "the most crushing economic operation ever taken" against any country providing a lifeline to Iran.

"This will be Economic Warfare and Isolation on an unprecedented scale," he said, calling the move "an ECONOMIC D-DAY".

Mohebbi said that the U.S. statements regarding "an economic war" are intended to exert psychological pressure on the Iranian public.

Iran has already developed plans to counter the adverse effects of the "economic war" and will continue to engage in economic exchanges with other countries to circumvent U.S. restrictions, he said.

Iran has no concerns about its economy, and the effects of the relevant measures will become evident, said the spokesman.

On June 18, the United States and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on ending the war in the region on all fronts, including Lebanon. Under the MoU, they were scheduled to hold negotiations within 60 days, which ended last Monday, to reach a final agreement, but the fate of the talks remains unclear following the escalation between the two countries last month.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said on Sunday that Canada would be "foolish" to believe it could win a trade war against the United States, warning that the economic consequences for Canada could be "devastating".

He predicted that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney would return to the negotiation table "very, very quickly".

The remarks came after trade disputes between the two countries dramatically escalated recently.

After the collapse of U.S.-Canada trade talks, the United States announced on Saturday that it would impose a 50-percent tariff on 20 billion U.S. dollars' worth of Canadian goods, effective just after midnight.

In response, Prime Minister Carney quickly announced that Canada would levy retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods beginning September 8.

U.S. President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social on Sunday that Canada wants the benefits of being a U.S. state, "without being one", adding this couldn't go on anymore.
