The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Naval Force issued a statement claiming it attacked American military positions in response to what it termed 'American aggression against southern Iran.' The statement, published on Saturday, warned of a wider response if attacks resume. The claim is unverified from a single Iranian source and has not been confirmed by US officials.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Naval Force on Saturday issued a statement claiming it targeted US military positions in the region, according to a statement published on Telegram. The IRGC said the action was a response to 'American aggression against southern Iran,' and warned that 'if the attacks return, our response will be even wider.'
The claim comes hours after The Zioneer reported an earlier IRGC statement asserting it had struck 'several' American military targets in the region, which remains unverified. The current statement is issued by the IRGC Naval Force specifically, adding a new layer of attribution. It follows a series of previous IRGC assertions about attacks on US assets that have been denied or unconfirmed by US officials.
The underlying event — an unspecified 'American aggression' against southern Iran — has not been independently reported. No details on the timing, location, or nature of the alleged American strike or the IRGC's response have been provided. The statement is from a single Iranian-aligned the source with no independent corroboration. The Zioneer assesses the event as Developing, pending confirmation from U.S. or additional sources.
