The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy claimed on Wednesday that one of its personnel was killed during a clash with enemy drones, according to a report by i24NEWS. The statement did not provide details on the location or timing of the incident, and the claim remains unverified.
The IRGC Navy's assertion comes amid a broader escalation between the United States and Iran. Earlier today, US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed it had struck 80 targets in southern Iran, including IRGC speedboats, as The Zioneer reported (09:52 Jerusalem). The strikes were in response to Iranian attacks on merchant vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
The IRGC has previously made unverified claims of attacks on US assets, including a claim that it shot down a US drone in southern Iran earlier today (The Zioneer, 06:34). The latest claim of a naval casualty adds to the ongoing tensions, though no independent confirmation has been provided.
