US and Israeli Strikes Hit IRGC Sites in Damavand Area East of Tehran.

U.S. and Israeli forces hammered IRGC-linked targets in the Damavand region east of Tehran with at least ten missiles, dealing a sharp blow to Iran’s military backbone amid the escalating Operation Epic Fury. This brazen strike near the capital exposes Tehran’s vulnerabilities and underscores the allies’ resolve to gut the regime’s missile and command networks.

Reports from Syria’s SANA, citing Iranian media, confirm ten Israeli missiles slammed into Pardis and Damavand on Tuesday, with Turkey’s Anadolu Agency verifying U.S.-Israeli warplanes’ role in the barrage. The Damavand area houses key IRGC infrastructure, including an underground headquarters hit by bunker-busters, crippling logistics and command hubs vital to the Guards’ operations. No official Iranian details on exact targets, but experts peg these as prime spots for missile support and IRGC presence.

These hits fit President Trump’s “massive and ongoing” campaign launched February 28, dubbed Operation Epic Fury by the Pentagon, zeroing in on Iran’s ballistic missiles, navy, drone factories, and nuclear path. Trump touted sinking nine to ten Iranian ships and warned operations could drag four to five weeks, urging Iranians to topple their rulers. Casualties mount: Iranian Red Crescent logs over 780 dead across scores of cities; U.S. losses hit six troops from Iranian counterstrikes.

Tehran fired back with “True Promise IV” ballistic missiles and drones at U.S. bases in Qatar, Kuwait, UAE, and Bahrain, sparking an Iran-wide internet blackout and chaos in major cities. With diplomacy in tatters after failed Oman talks, this Damavand penetration signals the war’s intensity—no mercy, no retreat, as allied jets dominate Iranian skies.
