IRGC Aerospace Force claims operation to neutralize US radar and air-defense networks
The IRGC Aerospace Force has announced an offensive operation targeting US radar and air-defense systems, characterizing the effort as a precursor to larger-scale missile and drone strikes. The claim of a systematic 'blackout' of US radar networks remains unverified and may represent psychological warfare or tactical posturing. The development signals a significant escalation in direct military friction between Iranian forces and US assets in the region.
