The United States military has confirmed the destruction of the headquarters of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in a large-scale strike. In a statement, US Central Command (CENTCOM) described the action as cutting off the head of the snake.

President Donald Trump said that US military destroyed 9 Iranian Naval Ships. In a public post on Truth Social platform, Trump said that he has been informed that 9 Iranian Naval Ships have destroyed and sunk, with some of them relatively large and important. Trump also warned that US is going after the remaining naval ships of Iran and they will also be floating soon at the bottom of the sea. Trump further informed that in a different attack, the US largely destroyed Iran’s Naval Headquarters.

Israeli military also reported conducting strikes on dozens of Iranian military command centres, including those belonging to the IRGC, intelligence headquarters, IRGC Air Force command centres, and internal security headquarters. According to the Israeli statement, these strikes inflicted a severe blow to Iran’s command-and-control capabilities, resulting in the elimination of personnel in critical facilities.

The joint US-Israeli operations continued yesterday, following the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday.

Explosions occurred in Tehran last night, with Israel stating that its attacks targeted the heart of the capital. Iran responded by launching missiles and drones at Israel, US military installations in the Gulf region, the Saudi capital, and Dubai.
