IRGC Claims Missile Strike on Vessel in Retaliatory Operation

(MENAFN) Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced Monday that its naval forces launched a cruise missile strike against the vessel MSC Sariska, describing the action as retaliation for an alleged US attack on an Iranian ship in the Sea of Oman.

According to a statement cited by reports, the operation followed what the IRGC characterized as an “aggressive attack” by US forces against the Iranian vessel Lian Star in the Sea of Oman.

The statement alleged that MSC Sariska belonged to what the IRGC referred to as the “US-Zionist enemy.”

Iran’s military force said the vessel was hit as part of a “retaliatory operation” carried out by its naval units.

No information was released regarding the extent of the damage or whether there were any casualties aboard the ship.

The IRGC also warned that any additional military action by the United States in the region would trigger a strong response.

“Any act of aggression by the US military in this region will face a firm response,” the statement said.
