US strikes Iran’s Revolutionary Guards in ‘powerful response’ to attacks on its forces

United States forces have conducted military strikes against Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and associated militias in Iraq. The operation targeted command centers and various operational sites in what U.S. Central Command described as a powerful response to ongoing attacks against American forces in the region. Reports indicate that at least four members of the IRGC were killed during the engagement.

The strikes represent a significant development in the regional conflict, with reports noting the involvement of Saudi Arabia in joint operations with the U.S. against Iran-backed militias. The military action has raised concerns regarding a potential escalation of hostilities across the Middle East.
