Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it struck several American military targets in the region, according to a statement published on Telegram. The claim is unverified and follows a series of previous IRGC assertions that US officials have denied.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) declared on Saturday that it struck "several targets belonging to the American army" in the region, without specifying the location, timeframe, or nature of the alleged strikes. The statement, posted on the IRGC's official the source, is the latest in a series of unverified IRGC claims about attacks on US military assets. Over the past several days, the IRGC has asserted that it hit 18, then 21, American targets in multiple waves — assertions that US officials have characterized as "completely untrue." The IRGC also recently threatened to strike "American sources of fire operating from Israel." At this stage, there is no independent confirmation or US military comment on the new claim.
