The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that its intelligence chief, Major General Majid Khademi, was killed in US-Israeli strikes. Iran condemned the attack as a 'criminal terrorist attack by the American-Zionist enemy.' This incident is interpreted as a significant event sharply escalating military tensions between the US and Iran.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards naval command warned that the Strait of Hormuz will never return to its previous state. They stated that operational preparations are underway to establish a new order in the Gulf. Iran also criticized the US President's actions for igniting regional war, insisting that reopening the strait without compensation is off the table.
