Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has launched a heavy attack on US aircraft carrier support and refueling platforms located in the port of Duqm, Oman.
The strike represents a significant widening of the conflict, targeting critical US naval logistics infrastructure rather than just forward-deployed combat units.
Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf issued a stark message following the operation, declaring that "the era of one-sided deals is OVER." He added, "We told you: keep your word or pay the price.
Reality is knocking." The rhetoric signals a hardening of Tehran's stance and a rejection of current diplomatic frameworks.
The attack comes as prospects for a US-Iran peace agreement have deteriorated sharply.
The escalation has reignited fears that the diplomatic channel, which had shown signs of progress, is now effectively closed.
