The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has asserted that it conducted a strike against a U.S. airbase in retaliation for an earlier engagement involving U.S. forces near the airport in Bandar Abbas, Iran.
According to a statement released by the semi-official news agency Tasnim, the revolutionary guard forces claimed responsibility for the action. The announcement specified that the strike took place at 04:50 local time (01:20 GMT). The IRGC stated that the targeted facility was identified as the origin point of what it termed American actions.
While the agency confirmed the strike occurred, it declined to disclose the precise location of the alleged airbase. This declaration follows reports indicating that U.S. military assets had previously struck an area situated on the outskirts of Bandar Abbas.
The IRGC statement positioned the retaliatory action as a direct response to the reported U.S. military activity in the region. The official announcement provided details regarding the timing and the perceived provocation, but did not elaborate further on the scope or nature of the initial U.S.
engagement. The revolutionary military body maintained that its actions were taken in response to perceived threats originating from the U.S. military presence.
