Tensions in the Middle East deepened on Friday following the death of five members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in an Israeli airstrike. The attack, which occurred in the early hours of the morning, targeted the city of Khorramabad in Lorestan Province, western Iran.
The IRGC confirmed the casualties in a statement released shortly after the incident, describing the strike as a deliberate aggression by Israeli forces.
Khorramabad, a relatively quiet city far from Iran’s border conflict zones, is not a regular target for such strikes, making this attack particularly significant.
While the Israeli government has not issued an official statement, the strike is believed to be part of ongoing efforts to counter Iran’s influence and military operations across the region.
This latest development comes amid already heightened tensions between Israel and Iran, especially over Iran’s military presence in Syria and its support for proxy groups across the Middle East.
Observers fear that the situation could further escalate, with potential implications for regional security and ongoing diplomatic efforts in the area.
