Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attacked several US military positions in the Persian Gulf, according to a Hezbollah-affiliated news summary cited by The Zioneer. The IRGC described the strikes as retaliation for recent American strikes on Iranian territory. No independent confirmation or details on casualties or damage have been reported yet.
A major escalation unfolded Saturday evening as Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched strikes against multiple US military positions in the Persian Gulf, retaliating for American strikes on Iranian soil earlier in the day. The report was carried by a Hezbollah-aligned channel aggregating the day's news; no Iranian state media or US official confirmation has been published yet.
This direct military exchange between the US and Iran marks a significant departure from the recent diplomatic track, which has seen the signing of a US-Iran memorandum of understanding that Hezbollah had previously endorsed. The Zioneer reported earlier Saturday on Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem's evolving position — first rejecting the separate Israel-Lebanon framework as 'humiliating,' then reversing course to pledge commitment to the US-Iran understandings.
It remains unclear which specific US bases or vessels were targeted, and whether the strikes caused casualties or damage. The US Central Command has not yet issued a statement. The Zioneer will continue to monitor and update as independent confirmation becomes available.
