The United States attacked the 'Sayyid al-Shuhada' headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy in the Zibaknar area of Gilan province, using missiles, according to reports. The facility operates as a naval warfare faculty within the IRGC's university. No details on casualties or damage are yet available.
The US strike on the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy headquarters in northern Iran, first reported by The Zioneer at 09:47 Jerusalem, has been further identified as targeting the 'Sayyid al-Shuhada' naval warfare faculty in the Zibaknar area of Gilan province, according to a report. The facility operates as a naval warfare training center within the IRGC's University of Science and Technology.
Over the course of the morning, The Zioneer tracked a rapid evolution of detail: initial reports at 09:47 described a strike on an IRGC naval base in northwest Iran; within minutes, the location was narrowed to the IRGC naval headquarters in Zibakhnaar on the Caspian Sea coast. By 09:47, Iranian reports cited by Israeli journalist Assaf Rosenzweig confirmed damage to the headquarters. The current update refines the target to a specific named faculty.
The strike is the latest in a series of reported US operations against IRGC targets across Iran in recent weeks, as The Zioneer has documented. Previous strikes were reported in Zahedan, Saravan, Hamadan, and near the Caspian Sea, though this is the first reported targeting a naval command facility.
The identification of the target as the 'Sayyid al-Shuhada' faculty comes from a single report and remains unverified by independent sources. No details on casualties or damage from this specific facility have been reported, though earlier Iranian reports indicated damage to the broader headquarters compound.
