Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed that 85 'important US military installations' in the region were destroyed, according to a security analyst. The IRGC's Khatam al-Anbiya command also warned that any state enabling US attacks on Iran would be considered a legitimate target. The claims are unverified and follow a series of similar IRGC assertions that US officials have denied.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed on Wednesday that 85 'important US military installations' across the region have been destroyed, according to a report by security analyst Yair Goldblatt. The statement, published on X, does not provide specifics on timing, location, or method of attack. Separately, the IRGC's Khatam al-Anbiya command warned that any state providing assistance to American strikes against Iran would be considered a legitimate target.
The claims are unverified and independent sources have not confirmed any damage to US assets. The announcement follows a series of similar IRGC assertions in recent days — including claims of 18, 21, and five bases hit — which US officials have described as 'completely untrue.' The Zioneer has previously reported on these patterns, including US denials.
No US Central Command statement has been issued in response to the latest claim. The credibility of the IRGC's assertions remains low given the lack of corroborating evidence from multiple independent sources.
