IRGC claims attack on US command center in Syria's Al-Tanf

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed responsibility for a missile strike on a US command center in the Al-Tanf region of Syria. In a statement, the IRGC's Public Relations office said the attack was carried out as part of the 11th wave of "Operation Nasr 2" under the code name "Aba Abdullah Al-Hussein (AS)" and was dedicated to the "oppressed martyred soldiers of Bampour in Iranshahr."

The IRGC stated that the strike targeted the enemy's special operations command center in Al-Tanf, destroying a radar system and several special operations helicopters. The statement also claimed that a large number of "American criminal forces" were killed. The attack was described as a retaliation for the "atrocities of the child-killing American army" and in response to the blood of martyred soldiers from Iranshahr.

The IRGC further asserted that complete control of the Strait of Hormuz remains in the hands of its forces, warning that as long as "American atrocities continue, not a drop of oil and gas will be exported from this region."

The Al-Tanf region in southeastern Syria hosts a US military garrison near the border with Iraq and Jordan. The US has maintained a presence there as part of the campaign against the Islamic State (ISIS). The IRGC's claim could not be independently verified, and there was no immediate comment from US officials.

According to Mehr News, the IRGC's statement was issued as part of ongoing operations and reflects heightened tensions between Iran and the United States in the region.
