Iran's IRGC say they targeted US airbase after strike near Bandar Abbas

The IRGC said the strike was retaliation for U.S. attacks that downed four drones and hit a ground control station, officials said.

  • Iran claimed Thursday it targeted a United States air base in retaliation for American strikes near Bandar Abbas, though the United States has not confirmed the attack reported by Tasnim.
  • The United States military conducted defensive strikes Wednesday against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps near Bandar Abbas, marking the second operation in three days after Iran alleged a ceasefire violation.
  • Late Wednesday, the Trump administration sanctioned the Persian Gulf Strait Authority, which Iran announced this month to charge tolls as high as $2 million per ship transiting the Hormuz Strait.
  • Global oil prices rose more than 5% Thursday following the escalation, while Kuwaiti air defenses intercepted what they described as 'hostile missile and drone threats.'
  • Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent claimed Iran's toll scheme proves 'Economic Fury' has left the regime desperate, while the IRGC vowed to "respond decisively to any violation of the ceasefire.
