As part of its retaliatory operations against the latest Israeli-American aggression on the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) launched a volley of missiles on Saturday at a US Maritime Strike Tomahawk (MST) support vessel.
In a statement released by the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), the public relations department of the IRGC Navy said the Maritime Strike Tomahawk (MST) platform was struck by multiple missiles in a calibrated response.
The action followed fresh aggression carried out by the Israeli regime and the United States early Saturday, which targeted several cities, including the capital, Tehran.
Numerous casualties are feared, the majority reportedly civilians, among them women and children.
In response, Iran’s armed forces initiated coordinated retaliatory operations, striking multiple military and intelligence targets in the occupied territories, as well as US military bases positioned across the Persian Gulf region.
The Israeli-American aggression unfolded in the midst of indirect nuclear negotiations between Tehran and Washington, mediated by the Omani government.
Following the strike on the American support vessel, the IRGC Navy warned that other US Navy assets would remain within range of its missiles and drones as part of its ongoing retaliatory operations.
The US Navy had promoted the Maritime Strike Tomahawk (MST) as a “game-changer” anti-ship capability, a weapon military analysts described as engineered to pose a formidable threat to adversaries at sea.
Equipped with a multi-mode seeker, the system is said to have the ability to track maneuvering warships and receive in-flight targeting updates, enabling it to engage moving maritime targets with enhanced precision.
