Iranian state television reports that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Iranian military have conducted a military response using missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles. The claim — from a single Iranian state media source — is unverified and provides no details on targets or scope of the operation.
Iranian state television announced on Thursday afternoon that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the regular Iranian military have carried out a joint military response using missiles and drones. The broadcast provided no details on the number of projectiles launched, the targets in question, or whether the operation is still underway. No independent confirmation from Israeli, US, or other sources is available at this time.
The announcement follows a series of escalating threats from Tehran and IRGC-affiliated channels over recent days, including declarations of a 'decisive direct response' by the IRGC Aerospace Force and claims of a US drone downing over Tehran. The Zioneer previously reported on those statements as unverified threats (June 11, 01:46 Jerusalem). None of those prior claims were independently corroborated. The current report, originating from a single state media outlet, carries the same caveat.
