Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)

Hezbollah declared a military campaign against Israel on Wednesday night in what Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps described as a “joint and integrated operation,” launching more than 100 rockets, drones, and missiles at over 50 Israeli targets as Jerusalem retaliated with heavy strikes in Beirut and warned the confrontation is now “headed toward a serious escalation.”

Iran’s newly-appointed Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, did not appear at his own rally in Tehran on Monday, leaving his followers to pledge allegiance to a cardboard cutout. His lack of public appearances fueled rumors that he has already been severely injured by U.S. and Israeli bombing, and may even be incapacitated.

The Israeli military said on Sunday that it targeted commanders from the Quds Force, the elite foreign espionage unit of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), with airstrikes on Beirut.

Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and other members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) are growing increasingly vocal in denouncing Iran for its wanton attacks on their cities and oil infrastructure, although they have yet to commit to aggressive military action against Tehran.

Assessing the first week of the U.S.–Israeli campaign against Iran, retired U.S. Army Major and urban warfare scholar John Spencer sharply rejected what he called the “lazy comparisons” critics have drawn between the operation and the Iraq War.

Iran struck Gulf infrastructure on Sunday, hitting fuel tanks at Kuwait’s international airport and damaging a desalination plant in Bahrain as Tehran pressed its missile and drone campaign against its neighbours into a second week.

Israel’s military said Friday that roughly 50 fighter jets dropped more than 100 munitions on the secret underground Tehran bunker of slain Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, destroying what it described as a key wartime command center still being used by senior regime officials as the joint U.S. — Israeli campaign against the Islamic Republic deepens.

President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan declared on Thursday that his country would use “the full might of our ‘Iron Fist'” against the terrorist regime in Iran after drones flying in from Iran struck an airport and near a school building in the Caucasus nation.

Seemingly under intense pressure from China, Iran’s terrorist Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) modified its threats to close the vital Strait of Hormuz to worldwide oil shipping, claiming that it would only attack American, Israeli, and European ships.

South Korean lawmaker Kim Young-bae revealed on Thursday that seven oil tankers operated by the nation’s refiners are presently stranded in the Strait of Hormuz.

Qatar said on Tuesday it disrupted two sleeper cells working for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

Several media outlets in the U.S. and Israel have reported that the U.S. has asked the Iranian Kurds to join the fight against the regime in Tehran, potentially neutralizing security forces in western Iran and paving the way for another popular uprising.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is threatening to “burn” any oil tanker that attempts to sail through the Strait of Hormuz.

China is pleading with Iran to keep the Strait of Hormuz open for oil shipments, but the terrorist Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) insisted on Monday that any ship attempting to pass through the strategically vital strait will be “set ablaze.”

U.S. Central Command declared Monday that Iran’s naval presence in the Gulf of Oman has been reduced to “ZERO,” announcing that every Iranian warship operating in the strategic waterway at the outset of Operation Epic Fury has been destroyed as American forces struck more than 1,250 targets in the first 48 hours of the campaign.

Iran’s Islamic regime reportedly designated Ahmad Vahidi, Deputy Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), as its new leader.

The list of Iranian leaders eliminated by U.S. and Israeli strikes in Operation Epic Fury is growing, and includes much of the top command structure of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the designated foreign terrorist organization that handles both overseas terrorism and internal repression for the Islamist regime.

Retired British Army Colonel Richard Kemp, a former operational commander in Afghanistan, said Iran “seriously miscalculated” President Donald Trump’s resolve — a misjudgment he argued led to the most significant strike against the Islamic Republic since 1979 and one that could now fundamentally reshape the regional order.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday morning that Operation Epic Fury has already eliminated at least 48 senior Iranian officials, including the former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

President of Argentina Javier Milei celebrated the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, describing him Sunday as “one of the most evil, violent, and cruel people in the history of mankind.”

U.S. and Israeli forces moved forward with their assault on Iran after intelligence confirmed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was meeting with senior advisers at a secure location, triggering the opening decapitation phase of what has become the largest joint U.S.-Israel military operation to date.

President Donald Trump confirmed reports that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, “one of the most evil people in History,” had been killed during an Israeli strike on his compound in Tehran.

An Iranian opposition group took credit for a coordinated assault on Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s Tehran headquarters this week, reporting “heavy clashes” with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) that allegedly left more than 100 of its fighters killed, wounded, or arrested.

A former senior Israeli commander warned that Iran could seek to arm its rapidly expanding ballistic missile arsenal — which already threatens Israel, U.S. bases, and allied interests across the region — with chemical or biological warheads, arguing that the “only viable option” may be a “massive” and “decisive” strike to bring down the regime as nuclear negotiations reach a critical juncture.

The United States deployed stealth F-22 fighter jets to Israel on Tuesday as part of what has been described as the largest American military buildup in the region in more than two decades, with high-stakes nuclear talks set for Thursday in Geneva and Iranian officials warning that any strike would inflict “heavy casualties.”

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) held military drills on Tuesday, reportedly including tests for new weapons, even as top military official Ali Larijani was preparing to deliver Iran’s latest response in negotiations with the United States, and President Donald Trump was preparing to deliver his State of the Union (SOTU) address.

Farage’s Reform launches policies to shelter heritage of the UK, both by severely constraining migration and with specific legal protections.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has activated wartime succession planning, empowering a hardline loyalist to oversee national security operations and ordering layered contingency measures to safeguard the regime amid fears of U.S. military strikes and assassination attempts.

U.S. military planning for potential strikes on Iran has entered what officials describe as an “advanced” phase, with options reportedly expanding beyond nuclear and missile infrastructure to include targeted decapitation strikes against senior regime figures — and with President Donald Trump said to be able to make a strike decision “at any moment.”

The United States has assembled the largest concentration of airpower in the Middle East since the 2003 Iraq invasion — deploying two aircraft carriers, advanced stealth fighters, refueling tankers, and layered missile defenses into theater — as multiple U.S. and Israeli reports warn President Donald Trump could authorize strikes on Iran “as soon as Saturday,” with talks described by American officials as “very far apart” and even a “near nothing-burger.”

A senior Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) general declared the United States is “finished” and claimed that even deploying America’s entire aircraft carrier fleet against Iran “won’t be able to do a damn thing” as U.S. and Iranian officials concluded a second round of nuclear talks in Geneva Tuesday under the shadow of an expanding American military buildup across the Middle East.

Iran fired live missiles into the Strait of Hormuz and temporarily disrupted traffic through the strategic oil chokepoint Tuesday as President Donald Trump’s envoys opened high-stakes nuclear talks in Geneva, with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei simultaneously warning that American warships could be sent “to the bottom of the sea.”
