Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stated that 18 'important targets belonging to the American army of evil' were struck in two waves of operations overnight. The claim, published by the IRGC on Telegram, is unverified and comes amid a series of earlier, disputed IRGC assertions about attacks on US assets.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Tuesday morning that its forces struck 18 'important targets belonging to the American army of evil' in two waves of operations overnight, according to a statement on the IRGC's the source.
The claim is the latest in a series of unverified IRGC assertions about strikes against US military assets in the region. Earlier statements — which the IRGC said targeted 21 US bases, Israeli airbases, and MQ-9 drones — have been denied as 'completely untrue' by US officials, as The Zioneer reported on June 10. Multiple prior IRGC claims regarding strikes on bases in Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain similarly remain without independent confirmation.
The IRGC's overnight statement provides no specific locations, names of bases, or evidence of damage, and no US or allied military source has confirmed any attack of this scale. The claim is based solely on the IRGC's own Telegram post and has not been corroborated.
