WANA (May 28) – Video footage of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)’s early-morning operation carried out in response to the U.S. military attack on Bandar Abbas has been released.

 

According to political correspondents, following the U.S. military’s pre-dawn strike on an area near Bandar Abbas Airport using aerial projectiles, the airbase identified as the origin of the attack was targeted at 4:50 a.m. in a retaliatory operation.

 

The newly released footage reportedly shows details of the operation for the first time, including aspects of the IRGC’s counterstrike.

In a statement, the IRGC described the operation as a serious warning to the opposing side, stressing that any act of aggression would not go unanswered. The statement further warned that any repeat of such actions would be met with a more decisive response, with responsibility for the consequences falling on the aggressor.

 

Earlier in recent days, the IRGC’s air defense units had also announced the destruction of a U.S. MQ-9 drone during a separate operation, while two other hostile aircraft were reportedly intercepted and forced to leave the area after receiving warnings.
