Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) warned employees at companies linked to the United States and Israel to evacuate immediately, signalling potential retaliatory strikes after recent attacks on Iranian infrastructure. IRGC official Seyed Majid Moosavi issued a strong message indicating escalation beyond proportional response. The warning followed reported airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear-linked facilities, including the Khondab heavy water complex at Arak and the Ardakan yellowcake plant in Yazd, which Iran said caused no casualties or contamination. Israel claimed the strikes targeted missile and nuclear-related infrastructure. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump said negotiations were progressing and extended a deadline on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, though Iran shows no sign of retreating.
