IRGC says ‘regretful response’ to US attacks has begun
A short while ago, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it had begun a “regretful response to the aggressors” amid the fresh US attacks on southern Iran, state broadcaster IRIB reported.
In a statement, the IRGC said that “in blind and desperate attacks”, the US had bombed several locations, including civilian areas. It went on:
Attacks that tightened the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and strengthened the determination of the fighters to suppress the foreign forces interfering in the strait of Hormuz.
The brave warriors of the IRGC have begun a regretful response to the aggressors, and in the first action, using the new aerospace defence system, they shot down the 50th advanced MQ9 drone of the invading American army.
