[2026-06-01] IRNA – Source of attack on Sirik Island telecommunications tower targeted: IRGC
Expand article
Tehran, IRNA – The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), in a statement, announces a retaliatory strike by its Aerospace Division at the source of the recent US aggression against a telecommunications tower on Sirik Island, Hormozgan Province.
The statement from the IRGC’s Public Relations Department in the early hours of Monday said that Aerospace Force fighters successfully destroyed all predetermined targets at an American air base, from where the aggression originated.
The IRGC Aerospace Force also warned that the repeat of such aggression would trigger a response with "different in nature,” adding that responsibility for any escalation would rest with “the aggressive and child-killing US regime”.
The US military has taken a number of anti-Iran measures in breach of a Pakistan-mediated ceasefire, including unprovoked strikes and violation of airspace, as well as imposing the so-called naval blockade on Iranian ports.
Sirik Island is located in the southern Iranian province of Hormozgan, near the strategic Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf.

‘anti-iran measures’ at first i was kind of dismissive of this as typical western circumvention of calling a duck a duck, but i realized this came from irna so is there a reason they don’t explicitly call that a violation of the ceasefire (i know they say ‘breach’, but the phrasing generally sounds a bit euphemistic at least to me). this question isn’t meaningful in any capacity i’m just mildly intrigued
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was some AI summary or translation that did that. Being trained on the English language just comes with biases at this stage, robot or otherwise. However, anti-Iran measures sounds sinister enough on its own. Not fitting with the “hate the people not the government” mask
Edit: that was a funny freudian slip im leaving it in
