IRGC Navy warns US bases will face severe retaliation

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy issued a stern warning on Sunday, stating that U.S. military bases in the region will 'experience hell in these days.' This statement came in response to American strikes on the Iranian coastal area of Sirik, which the IRGC dismissed as blind and ineffective.

In a social media post, the IRGC Navy command declared: 'America's blind firing at Sirik does not solve the riddle of our dominance over the strait [of Hormuz]. But our firing on violators reminds the remaining vessels of the clear path of passage.' It further added: 'The issue of American bases in the region is a separate thing. They will experience hell in these days.'

The warning followed an overnight IRGC operation that struck eight U.S. military targets, including the Ali al-Salem airbase in Kuwait and the Fifth Fleet's Salman port in Bahrain. The attacks were carried out using ballistic missiles and drones. The IRGC stated that these strikes were in retaliation for U.S. attacks on five Iranian coastal posts, which occurred after Iranian forces confronted a rogue vessel in the Strait of Hormuz.

Earlier, the IRGC had warned that any further ceasefire violations would halt the entire diplomatic process under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding. According to Mehr News, the situation remains tense as both sides exchange fire and rhetoric.
