The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced Friday that its response to overnight US strikes on infrastructure is 'on the way,' and identified five Gulf ports as potential targets. The list includes Jebel Ali port in the United Arab Emirates, Salman port in Bahrain, Al-Sha'iba port in Kuwait, Hamad port in Qatar, and the King Fahd Industrial Port in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia. The statement warned of blocking Saudi oil exports through the Red Sea. The IRGC's threat comes amid an ongoing cycle of strikes between the United States and Iran. As The Zioneer has reported, the IRGC previously claimed to have struck US bases in Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain in retaliation for US strikes on Iranian ports. The current threat is not yet verified as an imminent attack, and no actionable intelligence has been released regarding the timeline or means of the threatened strikes.
