Israel Hayom reports the existence of a direct communication line between the US military and Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, in what it describes as a first-of-its-kind disclosure. The report provides no further operational details but frames the revelation amid heightened US-Iran tensions.
Israel Hayom published a report Friday evening revealing the existence of a direct communication channel between the United States military and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), citing what it described as a first-of-its-kind disclosure. The outlet provided no technical or operational specifics—such as when the line was established, who operates it on each side, or what incidents have been transmitted via it.
The report lands against a backdrop of escalating direct rhetoric between Washington and Tehran. Over the past two weeks, The Zioneer has covered multiple IRGC statements announcing readiness for expected US strikes, threatening a 'decisive direct response,' and vowing to strike 'American sources of fire operating from Israel.' The disclosure of a formal military-to-IRGC communications link—if confirmed—would mark a significant departure from the usual pattern of indirect messaging through intermediaries (Switzerland, Oman, Qatar, or Iraq).
The revelation is based on a single source (Israel Hayom) and carries no independent corroboration. The timing and precise nature of the line—whether it is a crisis-avoidance 'deconfliction' hotline (similar to established US-Russia channels in Syria) or a broader diplomatic-military backchannel—remains unclear. The report's full text behind the paywall (bit.ly/4uRDBWZ) was not accessible for review.
