TL;DR

According to a report by Channel 14 commentator Dror Balazada, citing new details, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is reportedly furious over an alleged deception by the United States and is trying to reignite tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. The claim is sourced to a single report and has not been independently verified.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Channel 14 commentator Dror Balazada reported this evening on new details regarding tensions within Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. According to the report, IRGC elements are expressing anger over what they claim was a deception by the United States against Iran, and are now attempting to reignite the volatile situation in the Strait of Hormuz. The report cites no specific incident or timing for the alleged US deception, nor does it provide evidence of concrete IRGC operational moves. The Zioneer's background coverage includes multiple instances of IRGC threats against US assets and claims of strikes, though no prior reporting on this specific 'deception' narrative. The single source, a commentator on an Israeli channel, limits confidence in the details.
