Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has warned the United States against further military action, threatening a forceful response to even limited acts of aggression. IRGC Chief Commander Major General Ahmad Vahidi said Washington would face severe consequences if it continued its actions against Tehran.

“The enemy must learn from its repeated defeats, or it will face even greater lessons. Any act of aggression, no matter how minor, will be met with devastating and painful strikes,” Vahidi said, as quoted by news agency ANI, citing Press TV.

His warning comes amid rising tensions between Iran and the United States, with fresh developments reported in the strategically important Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC has issued warnings over maritime movements in the waterway and claimed that a liquefied gas carrier was involved in a major explosion after striking a naval mine.

According to the IRGC Navy, a liquefied gas carrier attempted to navigate through the southern route of the Strait of Hormuz, which the force described as dangerous and unauthorised, despite receiving repeated warnings.

The naval force claimed that the vessel suffered a massive explosion after hitting a naval mine. However, it did not disclose the ship's ownership, provide details about the extent of the damage or confirm whether there were any casualties.

In another development, the IRGC claimed that its Aerospace Force had destroyed a US early warning radar installation in Bahrain in retaliation for an alleged American strike on a telecommunications tower in Iran's Sirik region.

According to Fars News Agency, the IRGC said the operation took place approximately an hour after the alleged attack on the telecommunications infrastructure.
