The United States attacked the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) headquarters in Saravan and the city's airport, according to a single unverified report. No details on casualties, damage, or the method of attack have been reported.
Early Tuesday, at 03:39 Jerusalem time, a single unverified report specified that the US strikes on the Iranian city of Saravan, first reported hours earlier, targeted the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) headquarters and the city's airport. The report adds detail to the earlier account of "fierce American airstrikes" in southeastern Iran, near the Pakistani border. No information on casualties, damage, or the method of attack has been provided.
The development follows a night of intense reporting. At 05:39 Jerusalem on Monday, The Zioneer reported a series of developments: CENTCOM announced a new wave of strikes against dozens of Iranian targets, including air defense systems, radar, missile sites, and small boats, using sea drones for the first time (version 1). The US military then confirmed the strike wave's completion and asserted freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz (version 2). Reports expanded to include strikes on Kish Island, Bandar Abbas, Sirik, Jask, Khuzestan, and Qeshm and Farur islands (versions 3–5). The IRGC claimed retaliatory strikes on US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain (version 4). By 05:39 Jerusalem, reports indicated a massive expansion of the campaign to central Iran, with strikes in Bandar Abbas (version 6), and specifically identified Saravan as a target (version 7). The new report at 03:39 Jerusalem Tuesday now specifies the targets within Saravan.
The US campaign against Iranian military infrastructure has been underway for weeks. As The Zioneer reported on July 9, US strikes hit an IRGC base in Zahedan, and on June 27, an ammunition depot in southern Iran was reportedly struck. The IRGC has repeatedly threatened retaliation, including a statement on July 12 vowing to attack additional US bases if Iran is attacked. Earlier, on June 11, the IRGC claimed it struck five US military bases in Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain, though those claims remain unverified.
The report on Saravan's IRGC headquarters and airport, like many others in this campaign, stems from a single unverified source. No independent confirmation has been provided, and the full scope of damage or casualties remains unknown. The report's credibility will be assessed as further details emerge.
