Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it carried out its most intense retaliatory missile strikes so far, with attacks lasting more than three hours and targeting U.S. and allied positions across the region. The operation reportedly involved ballistic missiles and coordinated drone strikes aimed at military facilities and strategic ᴀssets.

The escalation comes amid one of the most intense phases of the conflict, with both sides increasing the scale of operations. U.S. officials say thousands of strikes have already been conducted on Iranian targets, while Tehran continues to launch retaliatory barrages despite sustained pressure on its missile infrastructure.

Analysts warn the prolonged missile exchange signals a dangerous new stage in the war, raising the risk of wider regional involvement as military operations expand across multiple countries in the Middle East.
