Iran has claimed responsibility for a missile strike on a United States airbase, saying it was carried out in retaliation for an earlier US attack. According to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the strike targeted the base identified as the source of the attack on a communication tower located on Sirik Island in Iran’s southern Hormozgan province.

The IRGC’s aerospace unit reportedly launched the missiles about an hour after the US strike on the communication tower. The information was released through Iran’s Fars News Agency, which cited IRGC sources. However, the IRGC did not disclose the location of the US airbase that was allegedly hit.

The report, citing Al Jazeera, did not provide further details about the extent of the damage or any casualties. The lack of information about the airbase’s location leaves uncertainty regarding the scale and impact of the reported retaliation.
