Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed, that it carried out attacks on energy facilities and oil lines connected to the United States and Israel the previous night.
According to Iranian state media, the IRGC targeted several sites as part of its retaliation against ongoing US-Israeli strikes on Iranian infrastructure.
Claim of Strike on Yanbu Facilities
The IRGC specifically claimed it attacked US-linked oil facilities in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia. State media reported that the strikes hit installations associated with American energy interests in the Red Sea coastal city, which serves as a major Saudi oil export and refining hub.
No immediate confirmation or damage assessment has been released by Saudi authorities or independent sources. US and Israeli officials have not commented on the latest IRGC claims.
Heightened Regional Tensions
These claims come amid the fragile two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran, which includes Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC’s announcements signal continued high alert despite the pause in major strikes, raising fears of further escalation in the Gulf and potential disruption to energy supplies.
Shipping companies and energy markets continue to monitor the situation closely as the temporary truce holds but remains highly delicate.
