Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has escalated tensions in the Middle East with three waves of missile and drone attacks targeting US military bases at dawn today. The strikes hit Al Dhafra Air Base, Sheikh Isa Air Base, and Al-Adairi Helicopter Base – marking the 49th wave of Operation True Promise 4.
🔥 Key Developments: – IRGC Navy claims "full and intelligent control" of the Strait of Hormuz – Oil tankers/commercial ships from "aggressor nations" banned from transit – Operation coincides with heightened regional security concerns
