TEHRAN -- Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Saturday its naval forces had struck US military positions in West Asia in response to recent US airstrikes on southern Iran.
In a statement published on its official news outlet Sepah News, the IRGC said the United States had carried out attacks on Iran's southern coastal areas under the pretext of an incident involving a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran said it was enforcing maritime control arrangements under a recent Iran-US memorandum of understanding (MoU), while accusing the United States of violating the agreement.
The IRGC warned that further US attacks would trigger a stronger response.
