Iran's Revolutionary Guard said Wednesday it struck a US special operations base at Al-Tanf in southeastern Syria. The claim, part of what Tehran calls "Operation Nasr 2," is unverified. Syria denied the base was hit. US officials disputed the reported casualties.
The IRGC said the attack was retaliation for the deaths of Iranian soldiers in Iranshahr. Iranian state media described it as a significant military achievement, including the destruction of helicopters and the alleged capture of US personnel. Independent sources have not confirmed any of these assertions.
