Iran’s IRGC says US attack ‘will not go unanswered’
We have a statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which has been shared by Iran’s ISNA news agency.

The IRGC said its naval and air forces “succeeded in neutralising” the US attack, which it said was carried out on Sirik island.

“We emphasise that this aggression will not go unanswered, and our response will be swift and decisive at a time and place of our choosing,” the statement said.

The IRGC also added that “any new foolishness will be met with a harsh response”.
