New Airstrikes Target IRGC Sites After Recent Radar Damage, Trump Warns of Larger Attack

On Tuesday afternoon Eastern Time, U.S. Central Command confirmed a fresh wave of air strikes against locations linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The missions focused on degrading radar installations that Tehran had been attempting to restore after earlier U.S. strikes.

President Trump told Fox News that the latest operation was “massive” and that a significant portion of Iran’s early‑warning capability had been eliminated. He warned that if Tehran continues to provoke, the United States may be forced to launch a third, even more comprehensive strike that could cripple the nation’s military infrastructure.

The Pentagon emphasized that the attacks were a direct response to alleged IRGC attempts to target commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and to assaults on U.S. personnel stationed in the region. In a separate comment, Trump highlighted the readiness of the USS George Washington, stating that the carrier strike group is fully equipped to respond to any escalation.

Regional partners were briefed beforehand, ensuring they were prepared for any fallout. The administration framed the actions as defensive measures aimed at preserving the safety of international navigation and protecting U.S. strategic interests.
