Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had attacked what it described as a United States special-operations command centre at Al-Tanf in Syria. Iranian state media reported that the operation was retaliation for the killing of Iranian soldiers in Iranshahr. The account could not be independently confirmed, and neither the US military nor the Syrian government had issued an immediate response to the claim.
The status of the reported target was also unclear. The US military said in February that it had completed its withdrawal from Al-Tanf, a strategically situated base near the meeting point of Syria, Jordan and Iraq. The Iranian statement therefore did not establish whether US personnel or equipment remained at the location when the alleged attack occurred. No casualty or damage assessment for Al-Tanf was reported.
The claim came amid a wider series of announcements and interceptions across the region. The IRGC also said it had targeted US radar systems and military aircraft at Al-Udeid in Qatar following overnight American strikes on Iran. In Jordan, the guards claimed to have hit US aircraft with ballistic missiles and drones. Those claims included assertions of destroyed or damaged aircraft, but the published report did not provide independent confirmation.
Jordan's military offered a separate account of activity in its airspace, saying its defences intercepted three Iranian missiles aimed at the kingdom. It reported no casualties or damage. Kurdish counterterrorism forces, meanwhile, said a US-led coalition brought down eight explosive-laden drones over Erbil in northern Iraq between 04:19 and 05:25 local time. They also reported no damage or injuries.
In Kuwait, the Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy said an Iranian attack struck a power-generation and water-desalination station. The ministry reported damaged facilities, a fire and disruption affecting numerous generating units. The IRGC separately said it destroyed two US radar installations in Oman, identifying a maritime-surveillance radar at the Salamah Rocks and an air-surveillance radar in the Ghanam area.
The reports illustrated how claims and defensive responses were spanning several countries at once, while verification remained uneven. Syria had sought to stay outside the expanding confrontation. President Ahmed Al-Sharaa said in March that the country would remain outside a conflict unless it was itself attacked. Against that position, the Al-Tanf allegation introduced a new potential point of escalation, but the available reporting supported only that Iran announced the strike—not that the target was active or that it was successfully hit. No overall casualty total or independently verified damage assessment accompanied the wider set of Iranian claims.
