‘Washington violated commitments’: IRGC says it targeted US forces in the region
‘Washington violated commitments’: IRGC says it targeted US forces in the region Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it targeted locations in the region where US forces are deployed, without revealing the details of these targets, Iranian media reported. In a statement shared by Tasnim and IRNA agencies, the IRGC condemned the US strikes on Iran, saying Washington, “as always, violated its commitments and launched an air strike” on the Iranian coast. “According to Clause 5 of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, the arrangements for controlling passage in the Strait of Hormuz are with the Islamic Republic of Iran; however, the US, by provoking various parties, sought to violate this commitment, to which the necessary response was given and this will be the case from now on. If the aggression is repeated, our response will be broader than this,” the IRGC said.
