Iran live updates: IRGC claims airbase attack after US 'self-defense' strikes

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said on Monday that it launched a retaliatory attack on an unnamed air base following U.S. strikes on the Iranian island of Sirik in the Hormozgan region, which sits along the Strait of Hormuz.

"Following the aggression of the U.S. military against a telecommunications tower on Sirik Island, located in Hormozgan Province, an hour ago, IRGC Aerospace Force fighters targeted the air base from which the aggression originated, and the predicted targets were destroyed," the IRGC said in a statement carried by the semi-official Fars News Agency.

"If the aggression is repeated, the response will be completely different, and the responsibility lies with the aggressor and child-killing American regime," the IRGC said.

U.S. Central Command announced it had conducted "self-defense" strikes over the weekend, targeting Iranian radar and drone command and control sites in Goruk and Qeshm Island.

CENTCOM said a post on X that the strikes were conducted in response to aggressive Iranian actions, including the shootdown of a U.S. MQ-1 "Predator" drone. The U.S. responded with fighter aircraft, striking Iranian military assets, according to the post.

CENTCOM said that no U.S. servicemembers were harmed in the strikes.

Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health says the death toll from Israel’s military campaign has risen to 3,412 people, with another 10,269 injured.

In a statement released Sunday, the health ministry also said 127 healthcare workers are among those killed since March 2.

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam on Saturday accused Israel of adopting a "scorched-earth policy" in its campaign against Hezbollah. Hezbollah, meanwhile, continues its attacks on Israeli soldiers deployed in the south of Lebanon and its long-range strikes on northern Israel.

The speaker of the Iranian parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said on Sunday that leaders in Tehran "do not trust the enemy's words and promises" amid ongoing peace talks with the U.S., as quoted by the official Islamic Republic News Agency.

Ghalibaf -- a senior figure within the regime who led Iran's delegation at peace talks in Pakistan in April -- said that leaders in Tehran "will not approve any agreement until we are sure that we have secured the rights of the Iranian people," IRNA reported.
