The Islamic Republic’s collapsing economic and military resources are becoming catastrophic for its proxy network, with Hezbollah now reportedly asking Iran for cash that has yet to arrive.

Trump calls media ‘treasonous scum’ over reports of low Iran war munitions
In a post on his Truth Social account, Trump said the military was producing munitions at “levels never seen before” and has “far more than we could ever use”. He also again took aim at media outlets that have reported on US shortages of both offensive and defensive weapons, calling them “treasonous scum” who refuse to “accurately report” on the war with Iran.
Iran Bombs Its Neighbours Again, Claims U.S. Pilots Killed
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said strikes against IRGC targets began around 12:00 p.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, in response to “recent attempted attacks by the IRGC against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and against American service members deployed to the region.”

- US Vice President JD Vance says all options remain on the table against Iran and rules out talks unless Tehran halts commercial shipping attacks in the Strait of Hormuz.
- Iran’s first vice president says the US has changed Tehran’s calculations, warning its response to US attacks will be “asymmetrical” and “multi-layered”.
- The death toll from the US strike on an Iranian wedding party in the city of Sirik has risen to five.
- South Korea is reviewing practical options, including military measures, for supporting freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, and says claims that Seoul had provided no assistance on the issue were “not true”, a presidential official has said.
- Trump is increasingly signaling that regime change, not another deal, is his preferred outcome for the Islamic Republic. His rhetoric has shifted. Trump says he “couldn’t care less” whether the Islamic Republic signs another agreement…
- The IRGC have taken significant personnel losses in the latest U.S. strikes, as more names of those killed continue to emerge. Seven more military personnel were killed Tuesday night in strikes on targets in Ahvaz and Aghajari in Khuzestan Province.
“U.S. forces struck Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets including air defense sites, radar systems, maritime assets, and facilities, mine-laying capabilities, and communications sites,” CENTCOM said.
Iran attacked civilian vessels in the Strait of Hormuz on Monday night. A Saudi-based shipping company called Bahri said on Wednesday that two Filipino crew members were killed in the attack on one of those ships, the supertanker Sidr, which was loaded with about two million barrels of crude oil from Saudi Arabia.
Iranian state media claimed that only four IRGC members were killed by the U.S. strikes on Tuesday, plus three members of the IRGC’s Basij militia, and four or five civilians at an alleged wedding party.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei denounced the U.S. strike as a “war crime.”
“The truth of this unlawful war of choice — and the true face of the war crime — is in Sirik, where a wedding ceremony was brutally bombed as part of America’s desperate struggle to conceal its failure,” Baqaei said.
Iranian state media published the names of the ostensible victims along with footage of a nearby telecommunications tower that could have been struck by a U.S. cruise missile.
“We’re aware of the reports, which originated from Iranian state media, and we are looking into them,” responded CENTCOM spokesman Capt. Tim Hawkins.
“The U.S. military never targets civilians, unlike the IRGC,” Hawkins added.
The IRGC claimed its retaliatory actions included “a coordinated missile and drone attack on U.S. bases in Erbil,” the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan, that allegedly destroyed warehouses, a maintenance center, and the “guidance system of a U.S. surveillance aerostat.”
Iran also claimed it conducted “heavy” airstrikes on drone hangars at the Prince Hassan Air Base in Jordan during which “a number of pilots and flight maintenance crew members were killed” and multiple structures at the base were set on fire.
The IRGC also claimed to have caused heavy damage and casualties at the U.S. Marine barracks at Camp Tintin in Jordan. The Iranian military further said it attacked the Al Dhafra and Al Minhad airbases in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Sheikh Isa airbase in Bahrain with drones.
Officials in Jordan, the UAE, and Bahrain said most of Iran’s weapons were intercepted without significant damage. Two U.S. officials said on Wednesday that contrary to Iran’s claims, there were no American casualties from the Iranian attacks on Jordan.
The Jordanian Armed Forces said it engaged 13 Iranian ballistic missiles and destroyed ten of them with the other three coming down in remote areas. Emergency services in Kuwait said they were able to control a fire that was started by an Iranian drone striking a residential complex. Kurdish officials in Iraq said they intercepted 10 explosive-laden drones near Erbil.
