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.

The Journal reported that Driscoll and his family vacated the official residence assigned to the army secretary at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall this summer, a move that could indicate he was preparing to leave the position.
The reported departure would come at a time of continuing uncertainty at the top echelons of the army.
Hegseth abruptly removed Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George in April, while Trump has not yet nominated a permanent successo....more below

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.

The elite military force warned of a “more decisive” response if the enemy repeated any act of aggression.
