IRGC targets US-operated oil tanker with suicide drone

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy said Saturday its forces fired a kamikaze drone against the US-operated Louise p oil tanker in the Persian Gulf waters, and the unmanned aircraft struck the designated target precisely.

Earlier, the IRGC Navy had declared that all assets of the child-killing Zionist regime and the terrorist United States are deemed legitimate targets in retaliation for the ongoing US-Israeli aggression against Iran.

Earlier in the day, the IRGC announced the launch of fresh waves of massive missile and drone strikes targeting regional US bases and Israeli assets in the occupied territories.

The IRGC's public relations department said later that the 25th wave of the retaliatory operation was carried out, involving the firing of precision-strike Fattah and Emad missiles.

According to the IRGC statement, military and logistics installations of enemies were targeted.

The IRGC later announced that it had targeted the al-Juffair base with a volley of solid- and liquid-fuel precision-strike missiles.

The US and Israel launched the new barbaric aggression on Iran on February 28, some eight months after they carried out unprovoked attacks on the country and its nuclear facilities.

The attacks led to the martyrdom of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and hundreds of Iranian civilians, including women and children, as well as military commanders.

Iran began to swiftly retaliate against the strikes by launching barrages of missiles and drone attacks on the Israeli-occupied territories as well as on US bases in regional countries.

Iranian officials have said that only US and Israeli assets and interests are being targeted and that the Islamic Republic has no enmity toward the host countries and respects their sovereignty.
