The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued chilling warnings of devastating retaliation against American military bases and warships after fresh attacks on Iranian-linked oil tankers intensified the Gulf crisis. Tehran has accused Washington of repeatedly violating ceasefire understandings in the Persian Gulf, while senior Iranian officials warn that any future targeting of Iranian commercial vessels could trigger direct military action. The latest developments have pushed the already fragile Gulf region closer to a high-stakes geopolitical showdown involving oil routes, naval deployments and strategic military assets. US President Donald Trump is now awaiting Tehran’s response to a fresh American truce proposal aimed at preventing the situation from escalating further. WATCH
