Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said US strikes on its positions would “tighten the lock” on the Strait of Hormuz, as Tehran launched what Iranian media described as a “decisive operation” against US targets following a fresh escalation between the two countries, reported Reuters.
The IRGC's statement came after the United States said it had launched strikes against IRGC targets in Iran over what Washington described as recent attempted attacks on commercial shipping in the strategically important Strait of Hormuz and attacks on American military personnel in the region.
