Iran Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps: In Response to US Military Attack, Targets US and Israeli Ships and US Military Base

According to Odaily, local time on the 3rd, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran issued a statement announcing that on the night of the 2nd, a US artillery shell hit an Iranian oil tanker near the Strait of Hormuz, damaging its engine room. In response to "this act of aggression and violation of the rules of the Strait of Hormuz," the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attacked the US and Israeli vessel "Panaya" with missiles. The statement said that in a new round of aggression, the US military attacked a communication tower of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps located in the south of Qeshm Island. In response, the Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched missile and drone attacks on a US air force base in a certain country in the region and the headquarters of the US Fifth Fleet. Iran has previously warned that it would take a completely different and much harsher response in the event of aggression. Iran reiterates that undermining the security of the Strait of Hormuz will cost the US military dearly. (CCTV)
