According to Iranian reports, the United States struck an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) target in the village of Tahrui on Sirik Island in southern Iran. No details on casualties or damage have been reported, and the claim is from a single source.
Just before 00:20 Monday morning, Iranian media reported that the United States struck an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) target in the village of Tahrui on Sirik Island, off the southern coast of Iran. The report, cited by security analyst Yair Goldblatt, comes from a single source and has not been independently verified. No details on the type of target, casualties, or damage were provided.
The report adds specificity to the widespread strikes The Zioneer had been tracking since 00:19 Jerusalem. At that time, The Zioneer reported that US aircraft were striking six areas in southern Iran, including Sirik, with CENTCOM confirming strikes on IRGC targets. Earlier reports described explosions in Sirik as part of a heavy bombing campaign across multiple southern cities. The thread of reports progressed from a general US confirmation to specific locations, though all reports from the same hour remain unverified in detail.
The Zioneer has reported on previous strikes in the region. On June 27, the IRGC threatened a 'swift and decisive' response to a US strike near Sirik. On July 9, the US reportedly struck an IRGC infantry brigade base in Zahedan. On July 12, the IRGC claimed it attacked US warships near the Strait of Hormuz. The current strike, if confirmed, would be the latest in a series of escalating exchanges.
The report remains unverified. The US military has not commented on this specific claim, and the Iranian government has not yet responded. No independent confirmation of casualties or damage is available.
