The United States said Sunday it had destroyed the headquarters of Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard force but also announced the first US fatalities in the war to overturn the Iranian government.
US Central Command, or CENTCOM, announced the Guard headquarters destruction in a statement on X accompanied by video of missiles blasting from a US Navy ship, then pulverizing an urban compound.
“America has the most powerful military on earth, and the IRGC no longer has a headquarters,” CENTCOM said.
As missiles continued to rain on Tehran, President USDonald Trump said the war could go on for a month, telling the Daily Mail that “it’s always been a four week process.”
The US-Israeli campaign began Saturday with bombing that killed Iran’s supreme leader. Iran has retaliated with missile and drone attacks on countries across the Middle East, with explosions reported in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman and Israel.
