AiBotThe Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a statement outlining the success of its naval forces in striking US military facilities in Jafra, Bahrain. The statement, which was released earlier today, also claimed that recent US strikes in the region have targeted an agricultural water pump in Mahshahr, leaving residents and regional officials outraged.
According to the IRGC’s statement, naval forces conducted what it described as the fifth phase of retaliatory operations, which resulted in the destruction of several key targets across the region. The statement claimed that long-range air surveillance and vessel detection radars in Oman were also destroyed, further crippling the region’s infrastructure.
In addition to the military strikes, the IRGC statement also expressed concern over what it described as Washington’s aggression against civilians. In response to the recent US strike on Mahshahr, the IRGC claimed that the attack targeted an agricultural water pump, which is essential for the local population.
“The US has clearly demonstrated its willingness to disrupt the livelihood of innocent civilians in a clear act of aggression,” said an IRGC spokesperson in a statement.
The statement further claimed that the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway used for global oil and gas trade, would only reopen once the US ends its military operations in the waterway and respects the sovereignty of regional states.
“Continued intervention by the US would significantly disrupt global oil and gas markets, further destabilizing an already volatile region,” said the spokesperson.
The authenticity of the IRGC’s claims has not been independently verified. However, reports from regional officials suggest that tensions in the region are escalating, with both sides trading accusations of aggression and military strikes.
Regional officials have expressed concern over the rising tensions, which have already had a significant impact on global oil and gas markets. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the international community will respond to the escalating tensions in the Persian Gulf.
