The United States carried out an unusual operation against an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps headquarters near the Caspian Sea in northern Iran, according to reports. No details on casualties or damage are yet available.
The Zioneer now reports that the US strike targeted the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps naval headquarters in Zibakhnaar, on the Caspian coast, describing it as an unusual operation. This update comes at 11:43 Jerusalem, minutes after the first Zioneer bulletin at 11:36 confirmed Iranian media reports of damage to the facility.
Earlier Friday at 09:47 Jerusalem, initial Iranian reports (via ynet) said a US missile strike hit an IRGC naval base in northwestern Iran. Within the same hour, the location was refined to the naval headquarters in Zibakhnaar, and Iranian sources confirmed damage. The Zioneer's first report at 11:36 cited those reports, noting they came from a single source and remained unverified. The current update adds no new details on casualties or damage but reaffirms the strike's location.
The Zioneer has reported on a series of US strikes against IRGC targets across Iran in recent weeks, including in Saravan (July 14), Rask (July 17), Zahedan (July 9), Shiraz (July 15), and Sirik Island (July 13). These are part of an intensified US campaign against IRGC naval and air force installations, as The Zioneer has noted.
No independent confirmation of the damage or casualties has emerged. The US has not commented, and the reports remain based on Iranian sources. The extent of the strike's impact on the IRGC's naval capabilities remains unclear.
