Iran's IRGC Vows Unending Strikes on US, Israel Until War Threat Lifts

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has declared it will continue attacking Israeli and US military bases across the Middle East until the threat of war against Iran is eliminated. The group claims its latest attacks targeted a US base in Kuwait, naval infrastructure in Bahrain, and multiple Israeli military and intelligence sites. This escalation follows joint US-Israeli strikes in late February that killed former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and Iranian commanders. The conflict intensified further after a missile strike hit a major Iranian bank in Tehran, prompting threats of retaliation against US and Israeli financial institutions.

Iran's IRGC vows to keep striking US, Israel until war threat ends

Iran's Revolutionary Guards vow ongoing missile and drone attacks on US and Israeli targets across the Middle East until the perceived threat of war ends.

"We only think of the enemy's complete surrender. - IRGC statement"

Tehran, March 11

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said Wednesday it will continue striking Israeli and US bases across the Middle East until it perceives the threat of war against Iran has ended.

"We only think of the enemy's complete surrender," the IRGC said in a statement on its official outlet, Sepah News.

The IRGC claimed that its 38th wave of attacks late Tuesday hit the US Al-Udairi base in Kuwait, sending more than 100 troops to nearby hospitals.

The group also claimed missile and drone strikes on US naval infrastructure at Mina Salman port in Bahrain, home to the US Fifth Fleet, as well as attacks on Kuwait's Ali Al-Salem Air Base and Mohammed Al-Ahmad Naval Base, Xinhua News Agency reported.

Earlier Tuesday, the IRGC said it targeted a satellite communications center south of Tel Aviv and military sites in Beer Yaakov, West Jerusalem, and Haifa with Khorramshahr missiles. It also claimed attacks on several US positions in Erbil, Iraq.

Separately, Iran's army reported early Wednesday drone strikes on Israeli Military Intelligence, the Unit 8200 cyber division, a Green Pine radar installation, and a submarine command center at Haifa's naval base.

The flare-up follows joint US-Israeli strikes on Tehran and other Iranian cities on February 28, which killed former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and senior military commanders. In response, Iran has carried out repeated missile and drone attacks on US and Israeli targets in the region.

In the latest strike on Iranian soil, Bank Sepah, a major bank in Iran, said a US-Israeli missile hit one of its Tehran buildings around 1 a.m. local time Wednesday (2130 GMT Tuesday), injuring and killing employees on the overnight shift. State broadcaster IRIB confirmed the attack but did not provide casualty figures.

The Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters -- Iran's primary military command -- warned the strike would prompt retaliation, saying the attack on a bank "freed" Iran to target US and Israeli financial institutions across the region. The Military spokesman Ebrahim Zolfaghari urged civilians to stay at least one kilometer away from such facilities.

The targeting of a bank is a worrying development. It moves the conflict into the economic sphere, which could have ripple effects far beyond the Middle East. As a major oil importer, India needs stability in that region. Our government must be prepared for any impact on energy prices and diaspora safety. 🙏

Frankly, reading about the 38th wave of attacks is shocking. The statement "We only think of the enemy's complete surrender" shows no room for peace. This isn't just about Iran, US, and Israel anymore. With our Chabahar port interests and large diaspora in the Gulf, India is directly affected. Hope our foreign policy is nimble enough.

As someone living in Delhi, this feels very distant yet close. The mention of strikes in Bahrain and Kuwait—where so many Indians work—is alarming. The embassies should issue clear advisories. The safety of our citizens abroad must be the top priority right now.

There's a lot of chest-thumping on both sides. The initial strike that killed Khamenei was a massive provocation. But Iran vowing to strike until the "threat of war ends" is an open-ended commitment to violence. Where does it stop? This is how regional wars start. India's voice for restraint is crucial now.

With respect, I have to criticize the article a bit for not providing more context on the February 28th strikes that started this cycle. The report is heavy on IRGC claims but light on independent verification, especially regarding casualties. We need balanced reporting to understand the true scale.
