Iran carried out retaliatory strikes against US military bases following attacks by Washington, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC, the elite units of the Iranian Armed Forces) reported.

“In response to the aggression, the IRGC naval forces carried out strikes against the deployment sites of the US military in the region,” the Tasnim news agency quoted the military as saying.

But it did not identify the targets or say where they were located.

Earlier, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that it had carried out strikes on Iranian territory in response to an attack on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz.
