The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) naval forces command issued a new threat statement Friday evening, claiming that its units are maintaining full surveillance of US military movements and that the Americans are approaching the 'zero hour' of an operation against CENTCOM naval units in the region. The statement was accompanied by a photo of US Navy vessels.
The new statement follows the IRGC's earlier declaration at 17:52 Jerusalem, in which the naval command asserted that its units are tracking US forces and that operational readiness for a direct confrontation with CENTCOM had reached its final stages. The two statements suggest a coordinated escalation in rhetoric from the IRGC Navy.
The IRGC has issued numerous threats against US naval forces in recent weeks, including warnings of a separate reckoning for American bases. The latest statement comes from an affiliated channel and has not been independently verified. The US has not yet responded to the claims.
