A US airstrike has severely damaged a warehouse at an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps base in the city of Rask, in Iran's southeastern Sistan and Baluchestan province. The strike targeted a facility used by the IRGC, though the exact purpose of the warehouse has not been disclosed.
The target: an IRGC warehouse in Rask
The warehouse was part of a larger IRGC base in Rask, a city near the Pakistan border. The area is known for drug smuggling routes and insurgent activity, and the IRGC maintains a significant presence there. The damage from the airstrike is described as severe, but no casualty figures have been reported.
No official confirmation yet
Neither the US military nor Iranian authorities have publicly commented on the strike. The lack of official statements leaves questions about the operation's scope and whether it was part of a broader campaign against IRGC infrastructure.
Rask's strategic importance
Rask lies in a region where the IRGC has long operated to counter cross-border threats. The city's proximity to Pakistan makes it a key location for monitoring smuggling and militant movements. The strike on the warehouse suggests the US is targeting IRGC logistics and supply lines in the area.
The incident comes amid ongoing tensions between Washington and Tehran. The US has previously conducted airstrikes against Iranian-backed groups in Iraq and Syria, but strikes inside Iran are less common. This attack marks a significant escalation in direct US military action on Iranian soil.
Details remain scarce. The full extent of the damage and any potential impact on IRGC operations is not yet known. The US Central Command, which oversees military operations in the Middle East, has not issued a statement. Iranian state media has not reported on the strike.
