In response to "this act of aggression and violation of the rules of the Strait of Hormuz," the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran launched a missile attack on the U.S.-Israeli vessel "Panaya."
The announcement stated that in a new round of aggression, U.S. forces attacked a communication tower of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps located south of Qeshm Island. In retaliation, the aerospace forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched missile and drone strikes against a U.S. airbase in a certain country in the region and the headquarters of the U.S. Fifth Fleet.
