The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) released footage this morning (Sunday, around 06:58 Jerusalem) purportedly showing naval and air strikes against unspecified targets, presenting it as a response to US military operations. The footage release capped a rapid series of IRGC claims of attacks on multiple targets across the region, all issued early this morning.
The claims began at 06:58 Jerusalem, with the IRGC stating it had struck the Al-Udeid airbase in Qatar and a US radar site in Kuwait. Subsequent statements expanded the claims to include a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, US Navy logistics facilities at Duqm port in Oman—including supply stations, refueling facilities, and logistics support centers—and a description of the operation as the third phase of its response, involving space forces. The claims were reported by Israeli media and IRGC-affiliated channels, but have not been independently verified.
The IRGC has a history of issuing propaganda videos during crises. As The Zioneer reported on June 28, the IRGC previously released footage of retaliatory missiles fired toward Bahrain and Kuwait. The IRGC had also issued multiple threats of a 'decisive response' in the weeks prior, including a vow to respond 'tonight' on July 8 and a declaration that the response had begun on July 9.
The footage released this morning has not been independently verified. The specific targets, location, timing, and scale of the alleged strikes remain unclear. The US has not yet commented on the footage or the claims. No independent confirmation of the attacks is available.
