[Iran's Revolutionary Guard Announces Multiple Retaliatory Strikes Against US Bases] 1. On July 13, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that its navy had shut down the systems of two vessels that violated regulations during an operation in the Strait of Hormuz the previous night, preventing them from endangering shipping safety. The IRGC stated that this action was a response to the continued US strikes against Iran. 2. In the first phase of the retaliatory action, the IRGC used missiles and drones to ignite fuel tanks and ammunition depots at Prince Hassan Air Base in Jordan. Located in northern Jordan, this base is a key forward deployment point for the US military in the Middle East and a hub for US operations in eastern Syria. 3. The IRGC subsequently launched a second phase of retaliatory action, attacking the US military base in Sheikh Isa, Bahrain. Bahrain is home to the headquarters of the US Navy's Fifth Fleet, and Sheikh Isa is a crucial US land-based facility in the Gulf region. 4. The IRGC explicitly stated that this attack was a response to US attacks on Iranian coastal bases and emphasized that retaliatory actions are ongoing. This series of strikes marks a further escalation of the US-Iran military confrontation.
