US launches fresh strikes on IRGC targets inside Iran
The United States launched fresh airstrikes targeting Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) facilities across multiple locations in Iran, including Bandar Abbas, Hormuz, Asaluyeh, Jiroft, Qeshm Island, Konarak, Chabahar, Jask, Sirik, and Lavan. US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed completion of the strike wave against Iranian military targets. This escalation marks a significant intensification of US-Iran tensions, with potential implications for regional stability in the Persian Gulf, global oil markets, and international diplomatic efforts regarding Iran's nuclear program. For competitive exams, this development is crucial for international relations, defence studies, and current affairs sections.
