The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on June 22 vowed retaliation against US and Israeli targets following American strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. "Operation True Promise 3 continues, and the aggressors must await responses that will make them regret and [will] go beyond their calculations," the IRGC said in a statement, adding that "American bases in the region are not points of strength but rather factors of their greater vulnerability."
The statement came hours after President Donald Trump announced [7]that US forces had struck Iran's three primary nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan [8]. Trump later told Fox News [9] that six "bunker-buster [10]" bombs were used against the Fordow plant, which houses Iran's most advanced centrifuges, while Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from submarines targeted Natanz and Isfahan.
