IRGC Strikes US Logistics Hub in Oman's Duqm Port

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced on Sunday that its aerospace forces conducted a heavy and surprise attack on US aircraft carrier logistical support centers and refueling platforms at the Omani port of Duqm. This operation marks the third phase of retaliation for American strikes on Iran, according to an IRGC statement.

The attack targeted the support infrastructure for US aircraft carriers, which the IRGC described as a key hub for American naval operations in the region. The statement invoked a Quranic verse emphasizing reciprocal response, asserting that the will demonstrated by tens of millions of Iranians at the funeral of the martyred Leader is now reflected in the battlefield achievements of Iranian fighters.

The report by Mehr News Agency (MNA) added that the IRGC did not provide specific details on the extent of damage or casualties resulting from the strike. The Omani port of Duqm has been a strategic location for US naval logistics, and this attack represents a significant escalation in the ongoing tensions between Iran and the United States.

According to MNA, the IRGC's action is part of a broader pattern of retaliation following earlier American military actions against Iranian targets. The statement emphasized that Iran's response would continue until its demands are met, without elaborating on specific conditions.
