A senior Western source said the United States is expected to strike extensive Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets in the Iranian capital Tehran over the weekend, for the first time in the current campaign. The report is unverified and no specific targets or timing were detailed.
A senior Western source has told The Zioneer that the United States is expected to launch a strike on Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets in Tehran over the weekend, with the operation reportedly targeting extensive IRGC facilities in the capital for the first time. The report, if confirmed, would mark a major escalation in the direct US-Iran military confrontation. Over the past weeks, the US has struck IRGC installations in Shiraz, Saravan, and Rask, as The Zioneer has previously reported. The IRGC has issued multiple statements vowing to respond immediately to any attack, and has threatened to target US bases in the region and American forces operating from Israel. The source did not provide specific targets or a precise timeline. The report remains unverified.
