Iran Carries Out Aerial Strike Against US Military Targets in Retaliation for Raid on Coastal Region
The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy pounded American military targets in West Asia in retaliation for onslaught against Iranian coastal areas.
The IRGC issued in a statement issued on Friday, saying its reprisal "targeted the deployment sites of the US terrorist military in the region."It added that the retaliation came after American forces launched airstrikes against areas lying along the Iranian coastline as part of the United States' changeless "pattern of breaching its commitments".Waging the aggression, Washington used "various pretexts, including the passage of a non-compliant vessel through an unauthorized route in the Strait of Hormuz", the statement added.
Earlier, the United States Central Command had reported carrying out air raids against some targets in Iran.CENTCOM that overseas the American forces deployed to the West Asia region, claimed it had staged the assault in return for, what it described as, a Thursday drone attack against a vessel, which it named as Singapore-flagged cargo vessel MV Ever Lovely. The attack, it claimed, took place as the vessel was departing the Strait of Hormuz along the Omani coast.Iran has, on all occasions, categorically dismissed any claims of targeting non-military objects, while warning about bids at trying to implicate the country in such attacks by staging "false flag" operations.
The IRGC Navy also noted that the United States sought to violate its commitments under a Memorandum of Understanding recently signed between the two sides "through various provocations"."And it has now received the necessary response," the statement went on, referring to the force's retaliation. "The same will apply to any future violations," it said, adding, "Should this aggression be repeated, our response will be broader than this."
