The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said the US military attacked in the Sirik area of southern Iran and threatened a 'swift and decisive' response. The statement was reported by Iranian media on Saturday morning; no details on casualties or damage were provided.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced early Saturday that U.S. forces conducted a strike in the Sirik area of southern Iran's Hormozgan province, threatening a 'swift and decisive' response. The statement, carried by Iranian channels on Telegram, did not specify the target, method of attack, or any casualties or damage. The threat follows a week of escalating exchanges between Tehran and Washington. As The Zioneer has reported, the IRGC earlier this week declared readiness for expected U.S. strikes and warned of a 'decisive and swift' counterattack. On Saturday morning, the IRGC Naval Force claimed it had separately struck U.S. military positions in response to what it termed 'American aggression.' This latest statement, from a single Iranian source, has not been independently verified or confirmed by U.S. officials. The Sirik area is home to important Iranian naval and missile infrastructure on the Gulf of Oman.
