According to reports by Iran's Tasnim and IRNA news agencies, the IRGC said its navy targeted locations where US forces are deployed in the region. The reports did not provide additional information regarding the exact locations or the scale of the apparent attacks. The IRGC condemned the strikes on Iran, saying the US "as always, violated its commitments and launched an airstrike" and that "if the aggression is repeated, our response will be more extensive." The US has said Friday's strikes followed a drone attack it blames on Iran on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz.
The ship was damaged but able to continue its voyage. Iran has claimed it has the right to control shipping in the narrow waterway in
accordance with the interim deal to end the monthslong conflict.
