The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) released footage Sunday morning showing strikes it says its naval and aerospace forces conducted overnight in response to what it termed US aggression, accusing Washington of violating agreements. The footage comes from the IRGC's own account; no independent verification of the strikes or their impact has been reported.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) released footage Sunday morning documenting strikes it says its naval and aerospace forces carried out overnight, describing them as a response to US aggression. The release follows a series of unverified claims the IRGC made earlier at 06:58 Jerusalem, alleging strikes on US assets across the region, including Al-Udeid airbase in Qatar, a radar site in Kuwait, a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, and escalating to specific claims of attacks on US Navy logistics centers and refueling facilities at Duqm port in Oman — which the IRGC described as a "heavy and surprise attack" by its space forces.
The IRGC's claims, all published at 06:58 Jerusalem, began with an assertion of strikes on Al-Udeid airbase in Qatar and a US radar site in Kuwait, then expanded to include a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, a US Navy logistics hub in Oman, and ultimately multiple allegations of hits on logistics support centers and aircraft carrier refueling facilities at Duqm port. The final claim in the sequence characterized the operation as the third phase of its response. Throughout this escalation, all claims have remained unverified by independent sources, with no corroboration from US or allied officials.
The IRGC's release of footage follows a pattern of providing visual documentation of claimed operations. As The Zioneer reported on June 28, the IRGC previously published footage of missile launches toward Bahrain and Kuwait, and has issued statements of readiness and threats of significant responses. The current footage was released via Iranian state-linked channels, consistent with previous IRGC media strategies.
The footage has not been independently verified, and no details on the location, targets, or damage of the claimed strikes have been confirmed. The IRGC's earlier claims from 06:58 Jerusalem remain unsubstantiated, and no independent reporting has corroborated any impact on US forces or facilities.
