Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed it struck the Sheikh Isa American base in Bahrain and the Prince Hassan base in Jordan as part of the 'first phase' of retaliation for US strikes. The IRGC also warned that the Strait of Hormuz belongs to Iran and that it will not tolerate interference by a 'rogue army.'
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has expanded its claims of retaliation for recent US strikes on Iranian coastal bases, now asserting that it struck the Sheikh Isa American base in Bahrain in addition to the previously reported Prince Hassan base in Jordan. The IRGC also issued a direct threat regarding the Strait of Hormuz, declaring that the strait belongs to Iran and warning against interference by what it termed a 'rogue army.' The claims remain unverified by independent sources, and the US has not confirmed any attacks on its facilities. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, the IRGC first claimed at 05:26 Jerusalem that it struck fuel and ammunition depots at Prince Hassan Airbase, calling it the 'first phase' of retaliation. A subsequent bulletin at 07:00 reiterated the claim. This latest update adds the Bahrain base and the Strait of Hormuz threat, indicating a broadening of the IRGC's stated response. The Strait of Hormuz threat carries particular significance given its role in global oil transit. The situation remains developing.
