The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy launched anti-ship cruise missiles from the port city of Sirik in southern Iran, according to a report received by The Zioneer Intelligence Desk on Tuesday evening. The report indicates the missiles were fired again from the same area, and that the Iranian regime appears to be bracing for an attack.
The launch follows a pattern of IRGC maritime activity in the Strait of Hormuz. Over recent months, The Zioneer has reported on multiple IRGC naval incidents, including warning shots at vessels and missile launches toward targets in the strait. Tensions have remained high after a series of exchanges between the IRGC and US Central Command forces.
Details on the specific target or impact of Tuesday's launch were not immediately available. The development remains unfolding.
