US Strike IRGC Command and Control Center in Iran as Middle East Tensions Surge

Reports and graphic video footage showing a major explosion at what is claimed to be an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) command and control center is currently circulating.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has confirmed recent self-defense strikes on Iranian radar sites, air defenses, drone control stations, and IRGC-linked command-and-control nodes in southern Iran, including areas near the Strait of Hormuz. These operations follow Iranian aggression, including attacks on U.S. assets and attempts to disrupt shipping lanes. While CENTCOM has not yet issued an official statement specifically naming tonight’s target as “decimated,” the footage aligns with descriptions of precision strikes on IRGC infrastructure.

The strike comes amid a broader 2026 Iran war that began in February with joint U.S.-Israeli operations. Recent weeks have seen tit-for-tat exchanges: Iran’s IRGC claiming retaliatory drone and missile barrages on U.S. bases in Kuwait and Bahrain, while Washington vows to keep commercial shipping flowing through the Strait of Hormuz despite Iranian threats to close it.
