US Strikes IRGC Sites in Southern Iran, Breaking Week-Long Ceasefire

On July 30, 2026, US forces struck dozens of IRGC—Iran's elite military wing—facilities across southern Iran: command centers, missile and drone sites, and Strait of Hormuz coastal defenses. The strikes came after Iran fired missiles at a US base in Jordan, ending a brief pause that began July 24 when both sides had signaled willingness to hold fire.
