In response to threats by US President Donald Trump about hitting Iran’s power plants, the Intelligence Service of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says critical technology centers beyond the region will be targeted within 48 hours.
The Intelligence Service said in a post on X on Sunday that since February 28, Iran’s armed forces have managed to stabilize the Strait of Hormuz, forcing the United States to evacuate its bases in the region, and damage and destroy technological centers of the Israeli regime.
From now on, the Service stated, Iran’s armed forces also have an eye on extra-regional technological and political targets associated with the Islamic Republic’s enemies.
Trump yesterday threatened that Iran’s power infrastructure would be bombed if the Strait of Hormuz is not opened within 48 hours.
Iran has declared that the strategic waterway is open to those who do not stand on the side of the Islamic Republic’s enemies. It has also warned of extra-regional political consequences in case of an attack on its power infrastructure.
On February 28, the United States and Israel attacked Iran. They assassinated Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and a number of high-ranking military officials.
The two enemies have also killed hundreds of Iranian civilians in airstrikes on the country. Notable among the martyrs are the more than 160 school children of the southern city of Minab.
Iran’s response to the aggression by the US and the Israeli regime has been decisive and precise.
Barrages of missiles and drones have paralyzed the air defenses of the United States in the region. This has also compounded Israel’s inability to intercept Iranian missiles pounding the occupied territories.
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) warns the enemies that any act of aggression against the Islamic Republic will not go unanswered.
In a statement on Thursday, the IRGC issued a “stern warning” to the enemies after US forces launched strikes against the southern Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas.
Following the US military attack on a point on the outskirts of Bandar Abbas Airport with aerial projectiles, the IRGC carried out new strikes targeting the US air base from which the attack originated in the wee hours of Thursday, it added.
“This response is a serious warning to the enemy that they should know the act of aggression will not go unanswered,” the IRGC emphasized.
The elite military force warned of a “more decisive” response if the enemy repeated any act of aggression.
It also said the responsibility for the consequences of any IRGC response lies with the aggressor.
The statement comes after the IRGC Navy on Thursday forced an American tanker to turn back. The tanker ...
Volker Turk has warned that efforts to advance reparatory justice are facing resistance in “certain quarters,” and urged countries to back Africa’s push.
Reparatory justice for historical crimes, including colonialism, enslavement, and the trade in enslaved Africans, is crucial to dismantling systemic racism, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk has said.
Speaking at the UN Permanent Forum on People of African Descent on Tuesday, Turk linked present-day discrimination against people from the continent to the enduring legacy of colonialism and enslavement.
”Racism and dehumanizing rhetoric continue to permeate public institutions, communities, and online platforms,” he said, according to the UN Press Service. Turk noted that “digital technologies, including AI, are reproducing and amplifying existing biases against people of African descent.”
The remarks come weeks after the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution declaring the transatlantic slave trade “the gravest...
The US VP had to defend President Trump’s Gaza policy at a rally on a Georgia college campus.
US Vice President J.D. Vance was forced to defend Washington’s policy in Gaza after he was booed and heckled at a key MAGA event on Wednesday.
Co-founded by the late Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA (TPUSA) is a conservative student group that has long been seen as a strong support base of President Donald Trump’s MAGA movement but is now showing apparent cracks.
Less than 15 minutes into a TPUSA event at the University of Georgia on Wednesday, Vance was interrupted by hecklers over US policy in Gaza, with one audience member shouting, “Jesus Christ does not support genocide!” As he attempted to respond, others shouted, “You’re killing children!” and “You’re bombing children!”
Vance replied by referring to Trump’s achievements as president, including securing a fragile ceasefire in Gaza, something he said the previous administration of Joe Biden failed to do.
“I ...
