Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claims to have targeted US-linked steel facilities in the Gulf region.

In a statement circulated by Iranian media, the IRGC said it struck steel sites in the UAE’s Abu Dhabi and aluminum facilities in Bahrain, following previous attacks over the weekend.

“These attacks are a warning, and if the attack on Iranian industries is repeated, the next response will be much more painful by attacking the main infrastructure of the occupation regime and the American economic industries in the region,” the statement added.
