In a statement, the IRGC said its Navy and Aerospace Force jointly carried out the military operation between "2:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m. on Sunday (local time)", targeting eight "key US military installations", including the "Ali Al Salem Airbase in Kuwait" and the "US Fifth Fleet headquarters at Salman Port in Bahrain".The IRGC added the operation involved ballistic missiles and drones and said the targeted facilities were destroyed.According to the statement, the operation followed attacks carried out by the enemy against five Iranian coastal outposts earlier in the day."The aggressor enemy, whose very nature is characterized by breaking commitments and violating agreements, attacked five coastal outposts of the Islamic Republic in the early hours of today under the pretext of responding to the IRGC Navy's confronting a trespassing vessel [in the Strait of Hormuz]," the statement read.
The statement followed an announcement by the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) that it had staged new assault against targets inside Iran.American troops have repeatedly violated a ceasefire announced by US President Donald Trump in early April during the latest round of unprovoked US-Israeli military aggression against Iran.Tehran has repeatedly warned Washington that Iran's Armed Forces have their hands on the trigger to respond to any miscalculations, and has delivered firm and hellish response to the enemy.
The IRGC also said maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz falls under Iran's responsibility pursuant to a Pakistan-mediated memorandum of understanding that was recently signed between Iran and the United States.It added, "Henceforth, vessels found to be in violation will be dealt with more firmly than before."The statement also warned that "any future assault by the enemy, regardless of the pretext and even if, as last night and tonight, it targets objectives deemed to be of minor importance, will be met with a crushing response"."The enemy should understand that violating the ceasefire constitutes a breach of Clause One of the Islamabad understanding and will result in the complete suspension of all related processes," the statement read.
