Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said early on Friday it launched a surprise attack against the Special Operations Command Center in the Al Tanf region of southern Syria, resulting in the deaths of "a large number" of US troops.
In a statement, the IRGC declared that the strike also succeeded in destroying a radar system and several special operations helicopters. The attack had been carried out in retaliation for a previous US airstrike on Iranshahr as part of the eleventh wave of Operation Nasr 2.
"Full control of the Strait of Hormuz remains in the hands of our brave fighters, and as long as America's acts of aggression continue, not a single drop of oil or gas will be exported from this region," the IRGC warned.
