Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has issued a warning to people across West Asia, advising them to stay away from areas hosting US forces amid escalating tensions.

The IRGC accused American and Israeli forces of using civilians as shields and said it would continue targeting them. It urged residents near US military bases to leave immediately to avoid harm.

The warning comes as the IRGC announced a new phase of attacks under Operation True Promise 4, targeting key US and Israeli installations with missiles and drones. Claimed targets included oil facilities, military sites, and air bases across the region.

Meanwhile, the Israel Defence Forces said it struck Iran’s main missile and sea mine production facility in Yazd. It added that additional strikes were carried out across Tehran and western Iran, hitting missile launchers, storage sites, and air defence systems.

According to the IDF, around 20 fighter jet sorties targeted areas such as Kermanshah and Dezful, with several sites destroyed. The Israeli military also reported detecting fresh missile launches from Iran after a brief pause.

The developments highlight a sharp escalation in the ongoing conflict, raising concerns over regional stability and civilian safety.
