Iran's Revolutionary Guards have vowed to "punish the aggressor today" following recent US strikes on Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets, according to Iranian state media, signalling a fresh escalation in tensions between Tehran and Washington, reported Reuters.
The warning came after the US military said it carried out a "heavy wave of strikes" against dozens of IRGC targets across Iran on Wednesday (local time), claiming the operation was launched in response to an attempted Iranian ballistic missile attack on American forces in West Asia.
